Antique Art Nouveau 12K Gold Old Mine Cut Sapphire Camphor Glass Ring

Antique Camphor Glass & Sapphire Ring

Art Nouveau Era | Circa 1900–1930

A delicate and enchanting antique ring from the Art Nouveau era, featuring a luminous camphor glass panel with a softly frosted, ethereal glow. At its center rests a bezel-set old mine cut white sapphire, adding a subtle brilliance against the misty surface of the glass.

Camphor glass—created by treating clear glass to achieve a diffused, “moonstone-like” appearance—was highly popular during the early 20th century, prized for its dreamy, light-dispersing quality. This piece beautifully captures that aesthetic, paired with intricate, flowing metalwork characteristic of the Art Nouveau movement.
