ABOUT THIS RING

We've never seen such a fine and fabulous hardstone cameo ring as this museum-worthy specimen. Measuring a striking 1+ inch long, the entire top is expertly and artfully hand carved from a single piece of agate to create a multi-color/shaded portrait of an ancient biblical or mythological queen or Greek/Roman goddess (Juno?), which is presented inside an integral (carved from the same piece) rounded oval frame. The masterfully crafted work of wearable art is set atop a 14K yellow gold support and ring shank. A truly rare, remarkable, and unique collectible, dating back to the 1800s. One small (hardly noticeable) chip on the upper left inner bezel. Currently ring size 4 1/2 (can only be sized up).

About Victorian Jewelry

The eclectic Victorians didn’t limit themselves when it came to motifs and themes—if it struck their fancy, they turned it into jewelry. Sweet and sentimental with a distinct romantic streak, Victorian gems expanded upon their Georgian predecessors. The array of styles that blossomed (sometimes quite literally) during this era endure to this day.

Jewelry Care

As with anything of value, especially sentimental value, taking good care of your vintage and antique jewelry from Lang will enhance its beauty and extend its lifespan. We encourage you to have your jewelry checked and cleaned by us or by your trusted local jeweler every six months, to ensure that each piece is in good wearable condition with all gemstones in place. It’s not uncommon for stones to loosen over time, and it’s much easier to tighten a loose stone than to replace a lost one! As stated in our Repair Policy, we strongly recommend that you allow us to perform any repairs, since our jewelers are specialists in restoring vintage and antique jewelry.
