Description
From 1885 to 1901, sapphire and pearl rings became more stylised, reflecting the Aesthetic Movement and early Art Nouveau. Designs became lighter and more whimsical, moving away from heavier Victorian styles to incorporate motifs like crescent moons, stars, and flowers. Sapphires were favored for their symbolism of loyalty and trust, while seed pearls represented purity and were often used to add delicate, light-coloured accents to these artistic pieces. Mass production also made these more accessible to the growing middle class.
