About the Item

Period: 3rd – 4th century Measurements: 20 x 11 mm Ring size: 7 Weight: 5, 80 gr The ring features a contemporary yellow gold setting featuring a Roman-era pink agate cameo dating to the 3rd-4th century. The cameo, in particular, depicts two putti, recognizable by the small wings on their backs, portrayed in a playful moment as can be deduced from their pose with raised arms, while at their feet rests a basket presumably containing fruit. The gold frame, however, is embellished with details such as the grooves on the sides of the ring shank, which ends with three lozenges that connect to the grooves forged beneath the agate itself; similarly, the engraver's skill in exploiting the various rose streaks to highlight the details of the depiction is remarkable.

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...

Coral Cameo Nude Ring Etruscan Antique Belle Époque 14 Karat Gold Deeply Carved
Located in New York, NY
A superb Victorian - Belle Epoque deeply carved Coral Cameo Ring depicting a nude woman with absolutely magnificent detail and artisanship in a beautiful and elegant Etruscan Revival setting in 14 Karat Gold. The ring dates to circa 1850-1880. The coral is between red and a salmon color - a stunningly beautiful color! The ring features the most beautifully carved high relief coral cameo of a nude woman. The face is exquisite with an angelic cherubic expression. I love the way the artist has created her nude form to gently extend over the border of the ring. The carving is very deeply 3-dimensional attesting to the fine quality of the work. The setting with the four gold beads at the corners is in the Etruscan Revival style. Antique hand carved cameo...
