Small Ancient Indus Valley Bead Ring Etched Carnelian Cone Antique Gold Ring
Located in London, GB
A superb and rare ancient Indus Valley etched carnelian bead ring. The conical shaped carnelian gemstone in the centre dates from the middle of the third millennium BC. Deep orange in colour with white patterned etchings, these beads originate from the Indus Valley civilisation (parts of modern day Pakistan and India).
These carnelian beads were alkaline-bleached to develop the geometric white patterns visible on the exterior. The technique was first developed by the Harappans of the Indus Valley civilisation, and vast quantities have been found in archaeological sites all across the Indus Valley.
The conical stone has been set in a later high-karat gold ring mount, the hoop is hollow and of circular cross section which widens towards the bezel. This design and shape is typical of ancient gold rings...

Rare Ancient Egyptian Carved Carnelian Frog Amulet Swivel Ring 18th Dynasty
Located in London, GB
This rare Egyptian carved carnelian frog amulet dates to the Eighteenth Dynasty of the New Kingdom, circa 1300 BC. Frog amulets, depicting the goddess Heket, were commonly worn by both the living as a fertility charm and the dead to provide rejuvenation and a long afterlife.
The ancient amulet is pierced horizontally and set into a later gold swivel mount, probably dating from the late 19th century. The design of the gold mount inspired by rings worn by the ancient Egyptians and Etruscans with its swivel bezel and coiled wire on the shoulders.
The immense number of offspring made the frog an important symbol of fertility in ancient Egypt, and carved frog amulets were worn by women hoping for an easy delivery. This is exemplified with the goddess and protector of birth, Keket, who was depicted as a frog. After death, frog amulets would be placed within the wrappings of mummies, both men and women, in hope of a successful rebirth in the afterlife.
The association between this amphibian and rebirth may have been induced by the fact that every year, millions of frogs spontaneously appeared out of the river mud and filled the fields after the annual inundation of the Nile. This caused the Egyptians to believe that they spontaneously generated themselves out of the river mud. The influence of frogs in Ancient Egypt can be seen in the language, the hieroglyphic sign for "one hundred thousand" was a tadpole, and one of the Egyptian terms denoting "frogs" is whm-anx, meaning literally "they who repeat life."

Roman Intaglio Carnelian Ring
Located in New Orleans, LA
Exceptionally rare and fashioned in the 2nd or 3rd century CE, the carved carnelian gemstone at the center of this ring hails from the Roman Empire. Displaying a rich red color and carved with the image of two Roman deities with a child, the creation exudes the glory of late antiquity. Each taking a classical contrapposto stance, the leftmost god appears crowned with laurels and grasping a staff, while the other appears nude. At their feet, an infant stretches his arms upward toward the divine figures. The crimson carnelian, more than a millennia-old, is set into a later 14K gold ring setting...

Georgian 14K Gold Handmade Fancy Link Bracelet with Wedgwood Intaglio Charms
Located in Venice, CA
Over two centuries old, this 14k gold Georgian fancy link chain is one of the most unique pieces of jewelry we’ve encountered. The five intaglios date to 1779, while the fancy link chain they hang from is circa 1800. The bracelet has multiple layers of history to it, and each element was made with astonishing craftsmanship.
The gold chain itself is an incredible piece of artistry. The complexity is intense—this is a masterwork of Georgian elements and a true geometric wonder. It is multi-component, alternating between several different intricate links. An elongated cage-like link is hollow and squared-off, vaguely reminiscent of a butterfly in its symmetry. It alternates with a squashed, pumpkin-like globe that is bisected by a dotted oval link. The completely handmade reticulation was created by hand-sawing out each detail. In between them is a fettered link, consisting of overlapping circles tied around a middle section that is adorned with stars. The tiny stars on the central link are indicative of the Georgian era, dating the chain to the early 1800’s.
Five intaglios hang from the chain, in the Georgian era equivalent of a charm bracelet. The black intaglios are made from basalt—a vitreous material that tightens as it hardens and is perfect for capturing carved detail. In places, the black basalt has a subtle shimmer that enhances its beauty. The center intaglio contains the profile of a man, and is marked on the back as Wedgwood and “38-2”. The other two basalt intaglios are double sided and Wedgwood. One features Seneca on one side and Isaac Newton on the other, with a shooting star like symbol near his head. Perhaps these basalt Wedgwood medallions...

Ancient Byzantine Gold Cabochon Carnelian Double Sided Cross, 6-7th Century A.D.
Located in New York, NY
The shape and form of this rare cross is known as Thor's Cross or the Cross of Cuthbert, a Celtic Christian associated with the Kingdom of Northumbria and Southern Scotland. After his death, Cuthbert became the most revered saint of Northern England. His Feast Days are March 20 (Eastern Orthodox Church, Church of England), August 31 (Episcopal Church) and September 4 (Roman Catholic Church, Church of Wales).
Ancient jewelry has an unparallel way of taking us to a time past, connecting the individual taste for the unusual with a certain mysticism associated with objects that are hundreds of years old. It sparks conversations about fascinating periods in history, artistic style elements and symbolic meanings.
