About the Item

A gorgeous ring from the Early Victorian (ca1850s) era! Crafted in 15kt rose gold, this ring displays a lovely hardstone cameo. The cameo is carved from a single piece of agate and depicts a figure carrying a jug and a staff. Though it is a single stone, the brown agate figure is masterfully carved, appearing to rest atop a translucent light brown background. It is held within a smoothly polished bezel, and the shoulders have a delicate spherical detail before the flared shoulders taper into a thin band at the back. A lovely design, it merges seamlessly into modern-day fashion! The ring fits a finger size of 6.25 but can easily be resized. The centerpiece measures 23/32" tall, slightly more than 9.16" wide, and rests 7/32" above the finger when worn.

Hermes Mercury Hardstone Cameo Ring Classic Victorian Agate Gold Deeply Carved
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...
