French Art Nouveau diamond daisy ring c.1910
This ring from the French Art Nouveau period, circa 1910, is crafted in 18k solid gold and set with rose-cut diamonds.
The ring is designed as a charming daisy, with a beautifully detailed floral outline. The open-back setting enhances the dimensional facets of the rose-cut diamonds, whose subtle sparkle perfectly complements the daisy’s pure and gentle symbolism.
Daisies represent purity and innocence. In literature and film, they are often associated with young girls or children to emphasize their naivety. Additionally, the daisy has ties to romance through the European game of “loves me, loves me not,” where petals are plucked to predict the outcome of love. With its abundance of petals, the daisy is a favored flower for this game, symbolizing both the longing for love and its inherent uncertainties.
