A lovely Art Nouveau silver ring by French jeweler Paul Dumont, featuring flowing ginkgo leaves framing a white baroque pearl at its center. A simple split shoulder shank keeps the focus on the intricate face of the ring.
Art Nouveau design (c. 1890–1910) broke from rigid Victorian symmetry to celebrate nature's organic forms: flowing lines, asymmetry, and motifs drawn from leaves, flowers, and insects. This ring is a lovely example of the style, pairing the irregular shape of the baroque pearl with the graceful curves of the ginkgo leaves.
