The Quatrefoil Ring recalls an adornment worn by an anonymous member of the prominent German merchant family, the Slosgins, as depicted in one of the earliest known works by the artist Barthel Bruyn the Younger. The four-clover motif known as a quatrefoil was a prominent feature of Gothic and Renaissance architecture, and bears associations with good luck and fortune. Our version features a weighty, ridged, band with a rectangular stone signet or flat signet face for engraving. Double your luck with the Diptych Ring, a play on the ring the sitter wears in the original painting, stacked with the single quatrefoil.

Our Quatrefoil Ring tapers from approximately 8mm to 4mm wide and features a 6mm by 3mm rectangular carnelian cabochon. Crafted in 100% recycled 14k gold, and available in a finish of your choosing (our preference is brushed gold as shown in the images).

We are delighted to offer this style in higher karat metals and different precious gemstones. Reach out to us at inquiries@jhannahjewelry.com for pricing.
