Georgian Carnelian Intaglio Ring

This characterful Georgian-era ring features a carnelian intaglio set in a yellow gold ring. The intaglio features the carved image of the syncretic deity Zeus Ammon in profile, and the ring reflects the late 18th and early 19th century interest in the culture and arts of Ancient Greece and Rome, which came with a revived interest in Democracy during the Enlightenment period. Joanna Hardy says: “Very good-condition ring and the intaglio carving is quite deep and very clean €“ definitely something different! I like intaglio rings because they have an element of mystery: only when you look closely can you appreciate the full design.”
