No. 2289 Lover's Eye Marquise Ring

Sale price$275.00 Regular price$355.00

Lover's Eye handmade ring in a pointed oval marquise or navette shape with an oil painting encased in sterling silver under a quartz crystal cabochon which gives a magical magnifying effect, measuring 3/8" by 7/8"; ring size 5.25.

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.
