Antique French Art Nouveau 14k Bloomed Gold Louis Armand Rault Roman Goddess Diana Ring

A dreamy likeness of the Roman goddess Diana gazes westward with elegant composure on this Art Nouveau era 14k gold ring by renowned French jeweler and sculptor Louis Armand Rault, who worked for, among others, Boucheron. Her remarkably delicate profile is crowned with a glistening diamond and a loosely-gathered bun, below which her full quiver hangs ready for the hunt. The gold has been bloomed to bring forth a higher karat of gold, giving this ring the luster of an ancient piece of jewelry. The circular design feels referential to a coin ring, placing it unmistakably within a long lineage of meaningful historical jewelry.
