Roman Carnelian Portrait Intaglio Ring in 18k Gold

I acquired three Roman intaglios, each simply set in a high carat gold bezel setting with a slightly domed back. I debated over what to do with the old beauties and decided that they should become rings. I left the settings as found and had our talented in house goldsmith add handcrafted bands. I chose classic styles in 18k yellow gold. This intaglio depicts a left facing profile of a robust gentleman wearing a cap, there is an interesting symbol carved to the right of the image. The shoulder of the double band splits to a V where it attaches to the bezel set intaglio.

We use recycled refined gold from a certified green refinery in all of our work. Recycle, Reuse, Relove.

Details.....Currently a size 7. The top of this ring measures .75" x .63". The band measures 2.9mm wide.
