About the Item

It is such a delight when we discover a small but scintillating treasure! This is an antique hardstone cameo with a naturalistic shape in the form of a halo of rose cut diamonds surrounding a gentleman all of which is set in silver and backed in yellow gold. The shank was replaced in the 20th century. Presented here is a neo classic onyx cameo. There are 26 rose cut diamonds, amounting to an approximate 0.33 cts. This vivid portrayal is anything but ordinary especially with its contrasting colors. Notice also, that one can see the fine texture of the hair and beard as well as the attention to the shading. The top of the ring has a length of 22.2 mm., and 18 mm. across the widest point. The shank is marked 14K. The ring is a size 8 and can be resized. Please note our model has a medium to large size hand. All items sold are accompanied by a detailed description with photographs, as well as all original gemological documentation, if specified in the listing. As always, we guarantee all of pieces to be exactly as represented. Each piece of jewelry arrives in a finely gift-wrapped presentation box. Over the decades of our stewardship as a small but exemplary purveyor of the jeweler's art, we have strived to offer a fine and authentic selection, in excellent condition, of collectible jewels from all highly sought time periods at competitive prices and even lower prices, if possible. In the process we have had the extraordinary good fortune of meeting remarkable people - some collectors, others just extremely interesting individuals who have taken the time and effort to examine their lives and select things that tend to make them smile, or admire, or just wonder at the exciting endlessly creative and nuanced panoply of jeweled artifacts.
