Antique Ring ca. 1900 in 18k Gold with Signed Enamel Miniature by Thoumieux Limoges

A rare jewel from the Belle Époque, this exquisite antique ring (circa 1900) is crafted in 18k yellow gold and features a finely hand-painted enamel plaque depicting the profile of a young woman.

The enamel painting remains in excellent condition, framed by a decorative gold border set with sparkling marcasites, enhancing its vintage charm and delicate elegance.
