A captivating Miniature Portrait Ring crafted in 10K Rose Gold with an oval hand painted porcelain depicting a lady in side profile looking down, with long, reddish blonde hair.
With one side of her hair tucked behind her ear, and the other side cascading over her shoulder like a golden waterfall, her expression is soft and dreamy, her cheeks flushed and lips a rosy pink. She wears a white gown and the way she's looking down with her hair undone, reminds me of a certain Rembrandt painting of a woman bathing in a stream.
Portrait miniature paintings have a long history first appearing in European royal courts in the 16th century, and remaining popular through to the 18th century. They were commisioned to commemorate loved ones, or as tokens of love and friendship.
This is a beautiful example of a portrait miniature and will be a unique addition to a jewellery collection.
