This stunning, fine and impressive antique agate ring has been crafted in 9ct yellow gold.
The substantial antique ring setting displays an oval carved agate panel, ornamented with a carved intaglio.
The finely hand-crafted intaglio depicts a nude cherubic, allegorical figure carrying a large bunch of grapes; this is a popular motif from classical antiquity representing the harvest and abundance, in addition to often being associated with Bacchus/Dionysus.
The surrounding setting is plain and unembellished, melding with the bifurcating ring shoulders and blending seamlessly with the plain ring shank.
This antique signet ring has been independently tested using state of the art technology (Niton XL2 Analyzer) and verified as 9 carat gold.
This antique carved agate intaglio ring in gold is best suited to occasions that celebrate heritage, individuality and sophistication, making it an exceptional gift for someone who appreciates historic craftsmanship and symbolism. Intaglio rings, featuring gemstones carved with portraits, crests, mythological figures or classical motifs, have been admired for centuries as personal emblems of identity, status and taste.
