Edwardian 18ct Gold, Opal & Diamond Navette Shaped Ring by Child & Child

Written by Olly Gerrish

This is a beautiful 18ct gold ring by Child & Child who operated from 1880-1916 and are known for Art Nouveau jewellery. In 1880, the firm opened their doors at Seville Street in Knightsbridge, London.While initially producing neo-Renaissance jewellery, Child & Child later created beautiful Art Nouveau and Edwardian jewels. Their bright, beautiful enamel work won them acclaim and even Royal patronage. Their pieces often featured peacock, insect, or wing motif designs and were typically fabricated in silver. They closed in 1916. This is the only ring by them that I have seen. It has been set with a navette shaped opal surrounded by small well matched diamonds. The shoulders each have a a decorative leaf motif with four stripes. It has been engraved on the inside of the shank “14th december 1905”. A wonderful ring that can be worn as a dress ring
