French blue-enameled octagonal flip ring c.1810
This antique flip ring from France, dating back to the 1810s, is crafted from 18k gold and decorated with blue enamel.
The design is a simple and elegant octagon, with one side featuring rich blue enamel, and the other side bearing the owner's initials. The blue enamel displays subtle tonal variations during the enameling process, creating a layered effect that resembles a deep, tranquil ocean.
As its name suggests, the flip ring can be rotated 360 degrees, allowing the wearer to choose either side to display. When the ring base is aligned with the band, it can be worn as a pendant, offering at least four different styling options.
Another flip ring with a similar structure and red enamel is available on our website, featuring initials in a similar font. This suggests that the piece is part of a set of wedding rings.
The piece is in good antique condition, showing normal oxidation and signs of wear. As the condition assessment is highly subjective, please click and enlarge our photos to view more detailed condition information for your judgment.
