Georgian Hardstone Cameo Ring

About the Item

A Georgian hardstone cameo ring, the oval-shaped layered agate cameo, measuring approximately 27 by 17mm, and depicting the finely carved profile of Greek god Zeus (Jupiter), rubover set within a rose gold mount with a ridged detail to the rim, to a tapered triple wire-type shank, circa 1780, the head measuring 3x1.9cm, finger size M, gross weight 6.5 grams. This ring is in very good condition. Unmarked, tested as 14ct gold. A gorgeous cameo ring made in the late eighteenth century. This piece features an incredibly detailed carved cameo of Zeus in profile. The carved cameo demonstrated exquisite skill and technique. The peach hued agate stone that this cameo has been carved into is complemented by the blushed rose gold mount and ring. This piece is one of many Georgian-era rings that come from the collection of Bentley & Skinner, the London jewellers by appointment to both Her Majesty the Queen and His Royal Highness the Prince of Wales. The finger size of most of our rings can be adjusted and our workshop will be happy to do this free of charge. If you do not know your finger size please request us to post you a finger measure. Should you choose to make this purchase we would be delighted to send it to you in a Bentley & Skinner handmade leather case packed in a gift-wrapped Bentley & Skinner black and gold presentation box. Shortly afterwards we will send you on a valuation for insurance purposes for your reference and safekeeping.

Located in New York, NY
Indulge in a superb museum quality Victorian - Belle Epoque deeply carved hardstone Cameo Ring depicting an image of the god Hermes or Mercury in a spectacular high relief carved agate and set in a beautiful and elegant Etruscan Revival setting in 10 Karat Gold. The ring dates to circa 1850-1880. The agate is a stunningly beautiful color. The ring features the most beautifully carved high relief cameo of the Greek God Hermes, known as Mercury to the Romans, with his fabulous face with his winged helmet. His face is an exquisite rendition in the hardstone of the handsome god with his curly hair, elegant face, winged helmet, and wonderful neck and shoulders. I love the way the artist has created his nude form in the cameo. The carving is very deep 3-dimensional design attesting to the extremely fine quality of the work. The setting is beautiful with the repousse adornment of the band in the Etruscan Revival style. Antique hand carved cameo...
