{"product_id":"art-nouveau-ring","title":"Art Nouveau Style GIA Old European Cut Diamond 14k Gold Ring by Mellon \u0026 Potter","description":"\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eMade in the Art Nouveau style, this ring was crafted by Potter \u0026amp; Mellen, the renowned Cleveland firm founded by master craftsman Horace Potter in 1900. Potter became widely respected for his work in jewelry, silverware, and decorative arts through the Potter Studio. Although the design carries all the signatures of a classic Art Nouveau piece, it was likely handcrafted after 1933, when the firm formally became Potter \u0026amp; Mellen. Louis Mellen, who had joined the company in 1921, later managed the store and became Potter’s partner.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003ePotter was especially known for redesigning antique jewelry, and his use of early, high-crowned old European cut diamonds in this ring reflects his commitment to historical accuracy. It is very possible that this piece represents a redesign of a client’s inherited jewel, using heirloom stones, or a faithful remake of a well-loved original. The ring bears the hallmark for Potter \u0026amp; Mellen along with a gold purity mark.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eThe largest diamond has been graded by GIA and is accompanied by certificate #5232481525, stating the stone weighs 1.45 carats and is K color, VS2 clarity.
