(SOLD) Antique Classical Goddess Sardonyx Cameo and Diamond Halo Ring
(SOLD) Antique Classical Goddess Sardonyx Cameo and Diamond Halo Ring
A special cameo ring, so elegant in proportion and design. A classical goddess in profile is carved from sardonyx in tones of toffee and cream. The artist used the natural layers of the stone to wonderful effect — admire the leaf accenting the coiffure. The cameo portrait is framed by a sparkling halo of 13 antique cut diamonds — old mine cuts and a table cut — set in silver collets over gold.
The portrait is closed backed and the diamonds are open backed. The plaque contours are curved, to hug the finger comfortably. This beauty dates to the early 19th century, with a double wire shank, possibly a period appropriate replacement.
Marked with French owl and swan.
18k gold, silver, diamond, sardonyx.
Dimensions and weight:
● 17.5 mm long x 15.5 mm wide x 4.5 mm deep (on the cameo and halo)
● .52 ctw diamonds (deep stones)
● 4.1 grams
● Ring size 6.75 US
Period: Georgian, possible later shank.
*Please note that all dimensions and weights are approximate. Age-commensurate wear may be present.
*For deliveries outside of the continental U.S., please contact us for shipping information.
