Exquisite Double Peridot and Diamond Ring by Marcus & Co.

This distinctive two-stone peridot ring epitomizes Marcus & Co.’s liberal interpretation of Renaissance jewelry forms, fluidly merged with the Art Nouveau aesthetic, of which the firm was a leading American proponent. The flowing gold form, masterfully textured with Marcus’s unmistakable style of chasing and engraving, is adorned with diamonds and enhanced with vibrant green enamel over a prepared ground that offers subtle shading and depth of color. The green basse-taille enamel continues around the shank, which is punctuated at the reverse by a diamond.
