1920s Antique Reticulated Floral Sapphire Ring

A uniquely beautiful c. 1910-20s 14k gold antique ring, set in the center with a 4.5 mm indigo-hued sapphire against a ground of pavé-set seed pearls, all raised in an openwork gallery decorated with stunning etched and reticulated floral sprays. The design of this ring is interesting for its melding of two major art movements: the lovely floral gallery has the fluid lyricism of Art Nouveau design, and yet the front view of the ring, with its clean-cut lozenge shape and round sapphire, channels the geometric flair of Art Deco.
