Starting in the mid 1800s Enos Richardson & Co began crafting exquisite jewelry in Newark. Dating from the 1890s, the inspiration for this ring is from antique Chinese carved jade and the flowing lines of Art Nouveau. This ring is a beautiful example of that meeting of worlds, and a beautiful example of the artistry and craftsmanship of the Art Nouveau era. A flower nestles among squash and vines, carved into rich green jade, cradled in a 14 karat gold setting of openwork flowers and leaves that frames the stone like a garden around it.
What makes it even more special is what’s NOT in it. An independent lab report confirms this jade shows no signs of dyes or polymers, and that it was sourced from Myanmar (Burma), long prized for its jade.

Mounted gemstones cannot be measured exactly, therefore carat weight is considered approximate unless accompanied by certification from an independent lab, such as SGL or GIA. Colored gemstones and pearls are often enhanced, unless documentation says otherwise.
