This 18k gold ring is crafted in the shape of a tulip, with an open design that wraps gracefully around the finger. The band forms a delicate, flowing stem, ending in textured leaves and a polished bud, capturing the organic lines typical of Art Nouveau style. The surface of the leaves is finely detailed, with subtle engraving that mimics the natural veining of petals. The open structure of the band allows for an airy, sculptural effect, making the ring both elegant and distinctive. This design merges botanical inspiration with a timeless, artistic elegance.
The ring comes from the designer's private collection.
