Art Nouveau Greenman Ring of 10k Gold

An Art Nouveau ring dating to 1900, featuring a finely sculpted green man crafted in 10K gold with a sparkling diamond held in its jaws and demantoid garnet eyes. A celebrated motif in Art Nouveau design, the Green Man symbolizes renewal, vitality, and humanity's enduring connection to nature. His expressive features, flowing organic forms, and carefully placed gemstones embody the artistic movement's fascination with natural beauty and mythological imagery.

The ring face measures approximately 0.5 inches from north to south and weighs 3.46 grams. The ring is currently a size 6 and can be professionally resized for an additional charge. It remains in great antique condition.

Gemstone identification has been confirmed using Raman spectroscopy, a non-destructive analytical technique that provides a precise chemical fingerprint to verify authenticity. Metal authenticity has been professionally verified using XRF (X-ray fluorescence) analysis and traditional jeweler’s acid testing, confirming solid 10K gold construction.
