Product Description
This 14K Scroll Ring is a solitaire ring with a very feminine band! Small, graceful ribbons of 14K gold with just the right mix of simple and ornate. Artisans of the 18th century often combined classical and natural elements, rendering the curving scroll shape in the form of gracefully flowing leaves and vines. The character of scroll designs changed over the years. Scrolls executed in the baroque style early in the 18th century possessed a heavy, dense, sculptural quality. By mid-century, that boldness was being supplanted by the lighter styles of French rococo. The designs tended to be more delicate, fluid and often fanciful.
