Ring And Collar Button In Silver And Stones 19th Century

Amazing set including a ring and a collar or lapel button. The two jewels are in silver with the “boar head” hallmark, therefore French work after 1838. They are set with a large purple stone which appears to be a real amethyst. The work is in the style of Renaissance jewelry. The kitten top is supported by busts of women in the style of caryatids. I deliberately kept the old patina, close to iron. The buyer will have no difficulty if he wishes to return the appearance of silver. The ring of the ring is quite wide (2.5cm in diameter) reminiscent of a man's or glove's ring. the ring is quite large, 3cm in height. This set is representative of the fashion for neo-Renaissance jewelry from the second part of the 19th century, the main examples of which are Wiese or Froment-Meurice. gross weight of both pieces: 19.82 g.
