Archaeological Revival jewelry has a wide-spread influence of many ancient civilizations. The trend was prevalent in the decorative arts from about 1800 to 1889. Greek artifacts were discovered in Crete between 1806 and 1814, sparking a fashion trend for all of the best dressed Westerners. The beautiful and exotic techniques, patterns and motifs were copied and used in all sorts of jewelry pieces, and continued to remain popular well into the Edwardian Era.
Converted from an antique cufflink, this fab ring has near perfect enameling in white, black and gold. A bold cross shape takes center stage with linear decorations in the background, creating a visually arresting design. The original element is gold filled, and we have added a 14 karat yellow gold shank, which can be resized. A great unisex ring with a low profile, assuring comfortable wear. Perfect for that 'instant chic' you want every day!
