Antique rose gold carnelian signet ring made in 1897
This antique signet ring was made in 1897 and looks as fashionable today as when it was made well over 120 years ago and will be so comfortable and practical to wear all the time. Made in 9 carat rose gold, the colour of the gold not only has that beautiful warm tone to it, but also matches perfectly with the carnelian set on the top. Carnelian comes from the quartz family and was a traditional material that was used in signet rings and seals for centuries as it was hard and durable enough to last and is being able to be engraved with an intaglio, family crest or initials. Measuring 12.2mm by 10.6mm on the top, this leads to a very sleek and smooth band that tapers elegantly in width. With not only a lovely look but feel to it, this antique signet ring will always look perfect on the hand. Stock# ES9200 Hallmarked: Birmingham 1897 $,1550

18 carat gold antique hardstone cameo ring made in 1899
Cameos have traditionally been carved from shell which is a relatively soft material that allows for some magnificent cameos to be produced, and the finest of all the cameos have been carved from much harder material from the cryptocrystalline quartz family such as sardonyx, onyx and carnelian such as in this very beautiful antique cameo that was made in Birmingham in 1899. The oval cameo is set in a very elegant 18 carat setting and depicts a young maiden playing a lyre with such a demure and feminine look to her. The detail is just wonderful and as hardstone cameos are substantially more difficult to carve than shells, this was only left to the very best carvers. The frame around the cameo measures 17.8mm by 9.7mm and the ring sits perfectly on the finger where it accentuates the hand so well. Perfect for any finger, this antique cameo ring is so elegant and refined, and typical of the gorgeous late Victorian era. Stock# ES9178 Hallmarked: Birmingham 1899 $1,650
