About the Item
Antique 18K Gold Green Hardstone Cameo Ring Depicting Alexander The Great
Made in Circa 19th century.
A striking antique ring featuring an intricately carved green hardstone cameo depicting Alexander the Great in high relief. The masterfully detailed carving captures the wavy-haired conqueror wearing a draped garment and adorned with classical decorative elements, evoking the grandeur of Greco-Roman and Renaissance revival styles. Crafted circa 19th century, this piece exemplifies the artistry and historical romanticism of the period.
Alexander the Great (356 BC – 323 BC) was one of history’s most legendary military leaders and empire builders. Born in Pella, the ancient capital of Macedonia, he was tutored by the philosopher Aristotle and became king at the age of 20 after the assassination of his father, King Philip II.
In just over a decade, Alexander created one of the largest empires the world had ever seen — stretching from Greece to Egypt and as far east as India. He never lost a battle, and his tactics are still studied in military academies today.
Alexander saw himself as a unifier of East and West, founding more than 20 cities (including Alexandria in Egypt) and spreading Hellenistic culture, which blended Greek, Persian, Egyptian, and Indian influences. He died in Babylon at just 32 years old under mysterious circumstances, but his legacy as a visionary leader, cultural ambassador, and warrior-king endures to this day.
The cameo is securely bezel-set in a solid 18K gold mount with a smooth polished finish, complementing the rich green hue of the stone. The underside reveals natural inclusions and wear consistent with age.
