The Story:

Hailing from the height of the Art Nouveau movement, this ring basks in whimsy and romance and centers an ultra luscious, pale pink Baroque pearl. This pearl is charmingly uneven in shape and surface texture, both desirable traits of this classification of pearl. It is framed by a symmetrical gold foliate design, which seems to visually allude to the silhouette of a lotus bloom and feels reminiscent of opening leafy forms. In sum, the design is something of a play on the shape of a fleur-de-lis, and hearkens to the navette ring shape which has been popular for centuries. 

This ring’s face was repurposed from an antique stick pin prior to procurement by the shop, now living as a lovingly converted jewel. Stick pins are often converted to other forms of jewelry to reinvent them as relevant and wearable again. Being that the original pin was created during the end of the 19th or start of the 20th century, the lotus reference becomes even more historically meaningful:

As world travel opened up to the growing middle class around the 1870s to the 1890s, designs from Egypt and the Middle East were seen and appreciated by a broader global audience. Eventually, such designs were popularized, reproduced and incorporated in the decorative and building arts across Europe and America-- including elements such as the lotus plant. In ancient Egypt, the lotus represented creation and rebirth, as it grows in muddy silt and blooms a silky, bright flower. Along with papyrus reeds, lotus buds symbolized the unification of two parts, and have thus become celebrated within jewelry as talismans and wearable blessings.

When the pin was converted to a ring, a pairing of moissanites were fitted into two delicate prong mountings that flank the tip of one side of the pearl. It is likely that the mountings originally held either gemstones, diamonds or pearls-- whatever was once there was lost to time long before the pin was converted. Today, the moissanites fill their void and look exactly like twinkling diamonds accentuating the luminosity of the central pearl.

Moissanites have been an excellent sustainable option to diamonds since 1893 when the mineral was discovered in a meteorite-caused crater in Arizona. Moissanites are naturally-occurring and found in small quantities in the Earth, though newer moissanites are grown in labs to preserve what deposits still remain in nature. The earlier the ring, the likelier it is that the moissanite is natural and of antique age. In the case of this ring, the mounted moissanites are created, as they are later additions to this conversion piece.

Natural moissanites are mistaken for diamonds because their hardness and appearance is nearly identical. Even some contemporary diamond testing technology can have trouble distinguishing the difference between the two. Interestingly, moissanites rate higher than diamonds in both hardness and brilliance, meaning that they are far more durable and much sparklier than diamonds! Because of these characteristics, moissanites are incredibly desirable by the eco-conscious, and have long been economical and sustainable alternatives for diamonds. 

This ring is incredibly romantic, beautifully feminine and is a wearable remnant of a bygone Nouveau era. It was carefully remastered into a functional jewel once more, and is ready to be cherished again.

By placing an order, you accept and agree to uphold all of Revival Fine Jewelry's terms, conditions and policies.

General Information: All additional jewelry boxes, ring boxes, and other jewelry items pictured alongside a featured listing are considered props, are for photographic and display purposes only and are not included in the transaction unless otherwise noted. Items do not come with physical documentation, appraisals, or certifications, unless explicitly stated in the item description and/or title. While jewelry is inspected upon procurement by the shop as well as prior to shipment, Revival Fine Jewelry cannot guarantee a warranty once items leave our inventory, given the delicate and individual nature of secondhand articles and the unaccountability of buyer handling post-purchase.

Shipping: All orders are carefully packed within a branded Revival Fine Jewelry gift box, secured with recycled materials when possible, and shipped within a discreet outer shipping parcel. All orders ship with tracking, insurance and signature confirmation. Shipping options are presented at checkout. Per law and inegrity, international orders are always marked as commodity imports and customers are responsible for any and all customs expenses, VAT taxes and import fees, as well as any clearance costs legally dictated by their respective destination countries. These expenses are not calculated into the pricing structure, and returns based on import costs will not be permitted.

Returns: While Revival Fine Jewelry aims to provide a smooth experience from start to finish, customers are encouraged to reach out regarding any issue or dissatisfaction, so that we may work together toward a resolution. If a return is desired, the shop must be notified of an intention to return within 3 days of confirmed delivery, and item(s) must be shipped back to the shop within 7 days of confirmed delivery. All materials (gift box, inserts, cards) must be returned with the item(s). Returns declared after the 3 day window and/or postmarked after 7 days of receipt will neither be accepted nor refunded. Customers are responsible for generating an insured return shipping label (international customers included) and relaying the tracking information to Revival Fine Jewelry. Returns that do not include full insurance and/or tracking, and are damaged or lost in transit, will not be refunded. If a return is accepted, customers will be refunded less the original cost of shipping, handling and insurance, the expense of any damages incurred, and a 10% restocking fee (of the original purchase price). All sale items, items altered or resized by the buyer post-purchase, and all storage/ boxes are considered final sale and are ineligible for a return or refund.

Sale Terms: Sale prices are only valid within the prescribed sale window, unless otherwise stated by Revival Fine Jewelry or agreed upon between Revival Fine Jewelry and a designated customer. To maintain business sustainability and general fairness, individual customers are not entitled to exclusive notification of, or owed access to, store sales antecedently. Orders processed prior to a promotion or sale, items placed on layaway prior to a sale, and payments paid through layaway prior to a sale will not be retroactively adjusted to reflect sale pricing or terms.

Specially Negotiated Deals: Items purchased at specially negotiated discounts, deals or prices through any platform between Revival Fine Jewelry and a designated customer are considered final sale, including rates arranged and agreed upon via Facebook, Instagram, email or any other method. Closing deals at special rates reflects a desire by both parties to reach an expeditious and absolute sale. The intention of specially negotiated discounts, deals or sale prices through any platform between Revival Fine Jewelry and a designated customer, is to eliminate extra expenses and/or use of time and resources to formally list or re-list items per their specific and inherent value-determining qualities, as well as avoid unseen overhead business costs, stocking obligations, and all other disclosed or undisclosed monetary and nonmonetary expenditures.

Pricing: Revival Fine Jewelry reserves the right to decrease, increase, alter and modify inventory pricing to meet market rarity, demand or value; to offset platform, transaction or seller's fees; to adapt to economic inflation and fluctuation; and to defray specific business expenses. Pricing is the sole discretion of every small business.

Regarding Brooches & Pins: Often significantly and curiously undervalued jewelry items, brooches, pins and stick pins are treasured pieces of history in this shop. Accordingly, their pricing is calculated analogous to other fine jewelry, including their symbolic meaning, rarity and historical prestige. Such pieces are typically converted to other forms of jewelry, and are therefore becoming increasingly rare in their original states. Aside from being perfectly wearable as sophisticated lapel ornaments, brooches and pins of all kinds are prime candidates for many kinds of fine jewelry conversions, including rings, earrings, pendants, and charms, if so desired by the consumer post-purchase. Revival Fine Jewelry does not perform conversion projects for customers.

Regarding Storage & Boxes: All specifications, including but not limited to the measurements, age, origins, and material compositions are supplied in good faith as professional estimations constructed using professional grade tools, years of learned and honed skills, educational resources and academic scholarship, and refined research methods. Regardless of our confidence in our descriptions and the photographs deemed viable extensions of these descriptions, we cannot guarantee the definitiveness, faultlessness, or exactitude beyond our knowledge and expertise. Kindly keep in mind that this and all items are sold as-is vintage, antique and estate secondhand wares, and consequently bear conditional wear in matter and operation commensurate with age and use.
