No. 2156 Lover's Eye Round Gold Filled Ring
Lover's Eye ring with a round oil painting encased in gold plate over sterling with a quartz crystal cabochon which gives a magical magnifying effect, measuring 1/2"; ring size 5.5.
THE HISTORY: Lover's Eyes were a jewelry trend c.1785-1830 of brooches set with tiny watercolor portraits on ivory. Since they were cropped to eyes, they were in many ways more direct and intimate than traditional miniature portraits; but also because they were just eyes, they were often used as daring public testimonies of clandestine love affairs with mystery lovers.
THE SETTINGS: This piece is part of the collection of contemporary minimalist settings which juxtapose this historical jewelry tradition with clean, modern lines for a subtle effect that's easy to wear.
