About the Item

An exceptional ring set with an authentic Roman intaglio in red jasper, finely engraved with a rare and charming scene: Eros, depicted as a youthful winged figure, is shown placing a crown upon a rooster standing before him. The iconography, uncommon yet fully rooted in Roman symbolism, combines two powerful motifs: – the rooster, an ancient emblem of vigilance, vitality and the coming of light, – and Eros, the divine force of love, joy and renewal. The act of crowning transforms the scene into a symbolic celebration of the triumph of love, vitality and good fortune. The intaglio displays the soft modelling, balanced proportions and low relief typical of Roman gem engraving in the 2nd–3rd century AD, with a lively, playful movement reminiscent of Dionysian and amorous themes in Imperial glyptics. The ancient gem is now set in a high-quality 18 kt gold ring, crafted to enhance the intaglio’s legibility and allow it to be worn as an elegant contemporary jewel. A unique piece blending ancient symbolism with modern craftsmanship — ideal for collectors of classical antiquities and those who appreciate meaningful, historically rich jewelry.

Located in New Orleans, LA
Exceptionally rare and fashioned in the 2nd or 3rd century CE, the carved carnelian gemstone at the center of this ring hails from the Roman Empire. Displaying a rich red color and carved with the image of two Roman deities with a child, the creation exudes the glory of late antiquity. Each taking a classical contrapposto stance, the leftmost god appears crowned with laurels and grasping a staff, while the other appears nude. At their feet, an infant stretches his arms upward toward the divine figures. The crimson carnelian, more than a millennia-old, is set into a later 14K gold ring setting...
