Antique, Georgian carved crest intaglio ring
To find out more about the gemstones in this ring:
An 18th century agate intaglio crest ring. This eccentric ring is set with a burnt orange hard stone, beautifully carved with what is believed to be a family crest. Cameos and intaglios are an art form that dates back thousands of years to the Ancient Greeks, where carved gems were important symbols of lineage, wealth and prestige. This ring is a rare survival and a very good conversation piece!
