Description:
This attractive Arts & Crafts ring is probably from Boston, circa 1920. The gold mount is designed as a cluster of raised and textured berry leaves rising from a reeded shank, and is set with a large oval faceted citrine of beautiful honey color. Of fine gold workmanship, the ring has added antique and aesthetic value, and is in pristine condition. American, circa 1920. Citrine stands 1/4 in. (.6 cm.) high from finger when worn. Size 7. Arts and Crafts (1890- 1920) In 1888, C.R Ashbee established the Guild of Handicraft in London as a reaction to the poor-quality goods produced by the Industrial Revolution. Known later as the Arts & Crafts movement, its jewelry and metalwork were characterized by stylized organic designs, hand workmanship from start to finish, and inexpensive cabochon stones and enamel on silver or base metal. This handicraft aesthetic arose later in America and flourished longer, particularly in the Northeast. Unlike the English, the American jewelers worked primarily in gold and used faceted stones for color rather than enamel, as seen here.
