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.

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.
