ABOUT THIS RING

Intriguing. Who is this balding gent—Shakespeare, perhaps? Whether The Bard or someone else, it appears that a locket would not suffice and he wanted his beloved (or himself) to have a carved portrait close at hand. And it is a striking one indeed. Intricately hand carved in high-contrasting black and white onyx, the cameo is presented in a gleaming 14K yellow gold frame and elegantly accented by flared split shoulders. Engraved on the reverse with, “Carolan to Etheldruida Sept. 1898," it is currently a ring size 8 1/2.

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.
