Crafted during the height of the Art Nouveau era, this ultra charming and rare ring is a celebration of natures beauty and artistic excellence. At its heart lies a luminous cabochon opal, glowing with a mesmerizing kaleidoscope of shifting colors, encircled by a halo of glittering rose-cut diamonds. Hand-fabricated in 18 karat gold, a sculpted pair of fluttering dragonflies are artfully arranged above and below the opal, slightly offset, giving the design a sense of lively movement. The dragonflies seamlessly transition into the shoulders, adorned with a trio of textured ivy leaves.
