Harvest time in The Garden of Adin, a great time for plucking its fruits!

This ring was crafted around 1910 in a style known as "The Belle Époque." The Belle Époque (French for "Beautiful Era") was a period in European social history that began in the late 19th century and lasted until World War I. Taking place during the time of the French Third Republic and the German Empire, the "Belle Époque" was named in retrospect, as it came to be seen as a "golden age." During this era, the major powers of Europe experienced advancements in new technologies that improved lives, and the commercial arts adapted Renaissance and eighteenth-century styles to modern forms.

In the newly wealthy United States, emerging from the Panic of 1873, the comparable epoch was dubbed the Gilded Age. In the United Kingdom, this period overlaps with the end of the Victorian Era and the beginning of the Edwardian Era.
