About the Item
This 18 Kt gold ring features an authentic Roman carnelian (1st–2nd century AD) engraved with a depiction of a heron. Elegant, slender, and unmistakable, herons have long been common in waterways near cities. The legend of the mythical Phoenix is said to originate from the heron, which was sacred to the Egyptians. Returning annually to the Nile during its floods, the heron became a symbol of renewed fertility and abundance.
These graceful birds are also mentioned in Ovid's Metamorphoses. According to the Roman poet, a heron took flight from the town of Ardea after Aeneas destroyed it, giving rise to the scientific names of species such as Ardea cinerea and Ardea purpurea.
Herons have inspired countless artists and writers throughout history thanks to their distinct appearance—majestic in flight, elegant and refined during the hunt.

Roman Intaglio Carnelian Ring
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.
