  Style specifics
  Baroque is a style in art and decoration that developed shortly before 1600 and remained current in Europe until the emergence of the Rococo style c.1730. It was started in Italy, and spread to Germany, Austria, the Low Countries, and Spain andPortugal, with only a somewhat severely classical version being popular in France under Louis XIV. The style was a development of the Renaissance style and is characterized by lively, curved, and exuberant forms, by vigorous movement, and by richornament, based on classical sources, being symmetrical as distinguished from the asymmetry of the following Rococo style.

  Technique
  This jewel features a filigree decoration, which is in fact thin gold wire twisted into refined motifs, in this case elegant little balls. You can also notice the use of granulation on this piece. Granulation is a technique where the goldsmith uses very small balls (granules) of metal, which are not soldered to the piece but welded. Both techniques demand very high skills and precision from the maker.
  
  Hallmarks
  On the outside of the ring is a hallmark from the Kingdom of the Netherlands, a flowered letter V, used for foreign and small domestic works between 1814 and 1831. On the inside, there are older hallmarks that require further research, but one appears to resemble a 'U' shape, with a standing lozenge between the open arms of the 'U', possibly encircled by a halo-like feature (possibly a year letter?). The distinct character of these marks suggests that the ring could date back to around 1700.
