Charming Belle Époque love ring, dating from around 1910, centered with a heart-shaped cabochon opal displaying vivid plays of green and blue color, with a hint of yellow and small orange-red flashes. It is topped with a diamond-set bow, like a small romantic gift. The fine gold band and delicate clusters of rose-cut diamonds give it the lightness so highly appreciated in jewelry of this period. Tender in spirit and discreetly refined, it captures the sentiment and grace that have made Belle Époque jewelry so enduring.

- Style specifics: the Belle Époque, a French expression meaning "beautiful era," is a period in European social history that began at the end of the 19th century, after the Franco-Prussian War of 1870-1871, and lasted until the First World War, from 1914 to 1918. During the time of the French Third Republic and the German Empire, the Belle Époque was retrospectively named when it began to be regarded as a golden age for the great European powers. New technologies improved daily life, and the commercial arts adapted Renaissance and 18th-century styles into modern forms. In the United States, enriched after the Panic of 1873, the comparable period was called the Gilded Age. In the United Kingdom, this era overlaps the end of the Victorian era and the Edwardian period. Coal and cheap labor contributed to the orchid craze and enabled the perfection of greenhouse-grown fruits, while the display of state dinners spread to the upper classes. Champagne was perfected during the Belle Époque. Exotic feathers and furs were more present than ever in fashion, while haute couture was being invented in Paris, the center of the Belle Époque, where fashion was beginning to evolve on an annual cycle. In Paris, restaurants such as Maxim’s gained new prestige as places of display for the rich, and the Opéra Garnier devoted vast spaces to staircases, designed as similar places of presentation. After the middle of the century, railways connected all the major cities of Europe to seaside resorts such as Biarritz and Deauville; their carriages were strictly divided between first and second class, but the very wealthy then began ordering private railcars, exclusivity being a hallmark of opulent luxury. Bohemian lifestyles acquired a different glamour, cultivated in the cabarets of Montmartre.
