Carnelian and Silver Intaglio Ring
Carnelian and Silver Intaglio Ring
An evocative and romantic vintage ring. The focal element is a large intaglio carving in an oval-shaped, slightly translucent red-orange carnelian tablet. The intaglio features the profile of a man’s head and shoulders with wings below and a laurel garland above. Bezel set within a silver setting, the shoulders and shank of the ring are ornamented with the most beautiful and ornate engraving depicting a pattern of flowers. This piece carries a strong sense of history and a lovely patina.
