About the Item
An 18th century sapphire cameo depicting Hercules, the oval sapphire weighing 7.90 carats and finely engraved with the profile of Hercules facing right, rub-over set to a yellow gold mount with tapering shank, hallmarked 22ct gold, London, 2023, bearing the Coronation mark and the Bentley & Skinner sponsor mark, measuring 2.1 x 1.3cm, finger size I¾, gross weight 23.1 grams.
This ring is new.
A captivating ring on sale at Bentley & Skinner, the London jewellers by appointment to both Her Majesty the Queen and His Royal Highness the Prince of Wales. This ring features a sapphire cameo of a gorgeous light sky-blue colour depicting Hercules. Used as a mark of wealth, cameos and intaglios have been collected and adorned since antiquity, and were also used extensively as amulets to bring good luck and fortune to the wearer. The 18th century saw a wide resurgence in the collecting, and creation of jewellery which featured mythical Gods and symbols. This ring reflects a strong interest in neoclassical themes and images of Ancient Greece and Rome. The blue sapphire catches the light beautifully, adding an almost-iridescent sheen to the face of Hercules when worn on the finger. A wonderful ring.
