This Art Deco-era ring channels a strong Egyptian Revival aesthetic, popularized in the 1920s after the discovery of Tutankhamun’s tomb. The platinum-topped shoulders are designed to echo the stylized form of lotus flowers, a motif commonly found on ancient Egyptian sarcophagi and temple carvings.
A vivid turquoise cabochon, set in yellow gold, sits at the center—its bright color contrasting with the cool platinum to create a layered, architectural look. The combination of materials and motifs reflects the era’s fascination with ancient civilizations and modern design.
