| 77. Cushion-cut diamond and carved gold gothic-revival tiger ring. French. This is a superb example of gothic revival carved yellow gold jewelry which was very popular in Paris during the mid to late 1800’s. There is a vibrant cushion cut diamond set among a fantastical tiger. Gothic revival jewelry and particularly chimerical images in jewelry were meant to communicate to evil spirits that the wearer was sympathetic to these surrounding spirits and thus would protect the wearer. |
