Fruit & Flowers Jugendstil Ring by Fahrner

An early and rare Art Nouveau, or Jugendstil, ring from the prominent German jewelry designer Theodor Fahrner. A dreamy chalcedony gemstone, cut in a faceted, elongated oval, is prong set in a 935 grade silver vermeil "Fruit & Flowers" setting. The stylized natural forms of the setting are lush and highly detailed. The slim band is engraved with a foliate design. This ring is stamped "DEA 935" and signed with Fahrner's mark. Circa 1900.

Fahrner produced some of Europe's most exciting and innovative jewelry in the 20th Century. Theodor Fahrner was one of Germany's first jewelry manufacturers. He exhibited at the 1900 World Exhibition in Paris, where he won the Silver Medal for Jewelry. After Fahrner's death in 1919, Gustav Braendle succeeded him and retained the "Fahrner-Jewelry" brand name.
