I'm very excited to announce that I now have historically-inspired rings available for your reenacting and historical costuming purposes! These rings are modeled after ones seen in 18th century portraits. They are made with Quartz stones - a nice way to get the large size of the rings in the period without the cost of a large gemstone- and real Pearls. They are all made with Vermeil, which is a fancy term for Gold-plated Sterling silver for those of us with metal allergies.
My new rings are available on my
Dames a la Mode website.
Here are a few of the portraits that I used as inspiration:
 |
| Portrait of a Lady, 1760, The Bowes Museum |
She's wearing what looks like a large oval pink or red stone.
 |
| The Comtesse de Ceres by Elisabeth Vigee-Lebrun ,1784 |
The Comtesse is wearing a large square-shaped blue stone
 |
| Doña María de la Luz by Miguel Cabrera, 1760. The Brooklyn Mueum. |
She's wearing several rings, including two large single stones - one on each hand!
And don't worry, Gentlemen! There is also some evidence that you can wear these large rings, too!
