About the Item

Antique 18th Century Carnelian Intaglio Ring Featuring Roman Emperor Septimus Severus Set in 18kt Yellow Gold Key Features: Stone: Carnelian Intaglio depicting Roman Emperor Septimus Severus Setting: 18kt Yellow Gold Era: 18th Century Dimensions: Length: 2.4 cm Width: 2 cm Weight: 9.14 grams Finger Size: UK: L EU: 51 1/2 Historical Context: Roman Emperor Septimus Severus (193-211 AD): Septimus Severus was a significant Roman Emperor who founded the Severan dynasty. Known for his military prowess and administrative reforms, Severus expanded the Roman Empire and fortified its borders. The carnelian intaglio in this ring captures his likeness, a common practice in ancient and 18th-century jewelry to commemorate influential historical figures. Intaglio Technique: Intaglio is an engraving technique where the design is carved into the surface of the stone, in this case, carnelian, a semi-precious stone favored for its rich red-orange hue. Intaglios were often used as personal seals or to depict portraits of important figures, adding both aesthetic and functional value to the jewelry. Condition: The ring is in excellent antique condition with minor signs of wear consistent with its age. This piece is not only a stunning example of 18th-century craftsmanship but also a tangible connection to the rich history of the Roman Empire. A perfect addition to any collection, it serves as both a beautiful accessory and a historical artifact.
