About the Item
This delightful finger ring is in the style of the 2nd century A. D., with two distinctive pairs of gold globules soldered to the junctions of the round hoop and bezel. A agate cameo depicting the fish is inset in a circular bezel with a chased pattern around the border. Similar designs are found among the seal rings at Pompeii and Backworth, and among later jewelry. During the height of the Empire, gold rings were widely used as personal ornaments by men and women who could afford them. Unlike Greeks, the Romans also had the custom of exchanging rings as tokens of betrothal. This ring most likely had a decorative, and perhaps symbolic function for a well-to-do Roman.

Castellani Ancient Roman Agate Intaglio Gold Ring
By Castellani
Located in New York, NY
Castellani® has selected this Ancient Roman Agate Intaglio for the "Cleopatra" Ring Setting.
The intaglio dates to the 3rd to 7th Century.
The intaglio is both black and white agate, which is a hard stone and very good for carving. The agate has two layers of color, black on the top and white at the bottom. The agate intaglio is solid and is one piece. The carver was able to use these two color layers to give dimension and detail. The Column and Angel on the left wings are white and the balance is all black. The Carver knew the material he/she was carving and used this to create this very unique scene.
The intaglio shows two angels standing on either side of a column/pillar looking at the bust of a man on top of the pillar.
The angels are female and male. The bust on the pedestal is of a male.
The intaglio is set below the frame. The frame flairs out to a subtle point on the sides and has a flat surface.
The "Cleopatra" ring design was a style that Castellani created in the 1860's and was inspired by Ancient Roman rings...
