Weight:9.5g Period: Circa 1900, France, Art Nouveau Movement (1880–1920)
Material: 18 Karat Solid Yellow Gold, Antique Lorraine Commemorative Gold Medal
Description: Weighty antique signet ring of quintessential French Art Nouveau design, centred with a scalloped bezel mount edged in fine twisted granulated wire, enclosing a rare Lorraine gold commemorative medal. The medal bears a crisp relief profile of Joan of Arc beside the iconic Cross of Lorraine intertwined with laurel sprigs, inscribed “LORRAINE” along the lower rim. The substantial ring shank is entirely decorated with fluid hand-chased volute acanthus scrollwork, the soft organic flowing curves hallmarks of late 19th century naturalist goldsmithing. All original medal relief detailing and chased shank ornamentation remain sharp and intact, a rare historical figural signet ring steeped in French regional heritage.
