Antique hard stone cameo ring with pearls
This antique cameo ring looks perfect on the finger and will always be admired.
Made in the 1870's in 15ct gold, it is set with a hard stone carving from sardonyx of a mans profile.
Most cameos are set with shell cameo which is softer, so it is great to get one with sardonyx which shows the wonderful layers.
The different colouring in the layers has been used to its advantage by allowing the face to stand out so well against the background as well as the highlight of colour in the hair.
The cameo is surrounded by 34 natural seed pearls which compliment the ring so well, and the cameo measures 13mm x 11mm, and with the pearls measures 17mm x 13mm and sits so nicely on the finger.
With such beautiful engraving on the side of the band, this antique hard stone cameo will be treasured every time that it is worn.

1860’s antique cameo ring
This is a very attractive example of a hardstone cameo ring dating from the 1860's, with such detail to the carving.
Carved out of a piece of onyx, the carving displays both the black and the white, and being onyx, is a lot harder than the traditional shell cameo.
Carving shell into a cameo requires great skill, however to carve it out of a material much harder than shell such as this onyx requires a great deal more of experience and expertise.
The setting if made in 15ct gold and has a nice smooth band that compliments the setting of this cameo perfectly.
Dating from the 1860's, this cameo ring is just perfect in all respects, and the quality is superb.

Antique cameo and pearl earrings
 Antique cameos are so individual and here is a magnificent pair of antique cameo earrings dating from the 1870's.
 More commonly cameos are found carved from shell, whereas these cameos are hand carved from sardonyx which is a naturally layered material of white and the lovely warm burnt orange colour.
Â
 Made in 15ct rose gold, the colour of the gold matches so well with the colours from the sardonyx and it really makes these antique cameo earrings stand out even more.
 Each earring is also set with 2 pearls to add even more charm and character to them.
 Measuring 25mm across at the widest part in the centre by 38.5mm from the bottom to where the shepherd hook is attached, the size of these earrings really stand out so well day or night.
 The shepherd hook fittings at the back are also nice and long making them very secure to wear.
 Antique cameo earrings are becoming increasingly hard to come by as it only takes the loss or damage of one to make them obsolete and these earrings are not only still together well after 140 years but are also in superb condition.
