The banded agate cabochon forming an 'Evil Eye' consists of an agate stone composed of three mottled layers, usually with colours ranging from yellow to grey with white areas in between, which takes on a shape similar to an eye. This stone, in oriental cultures, took on considerable importance due to the healing powers attributed to it and, in particular, it was believed that agate was able to cure and ward off the evil eye and perform an apotropaic healing function. In the case of this ring, the square and projecting workmanship of the agate is striking, with such mastery that it is able to highlight the different mottling of the stone and thus create a curious play of shades. Likewise, the presence of the original ring frame, in yellow gold, which is simple and minimalist but perfectly supports the shape of the stone, thus managing to highlight and enhance it. In light of this, any signs or presence of patina must be considered an added value of the object, which has arrived in perfect condition from the 3rd century until today.

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...
