ABOUT THIS RING

In this striking and artsy Victorian-era cameo ring, an elegantly elongated hexagon, or double-bullet shaped crown, is ornately hand engraved with flowers and scrolls, and supported by fanciful shoulders of the same motif. Cameos such as this usually depict one of the Greek Muses, however, this glass or ceramic specimen has been too worn by the proverbial sands of time to specifically identify her. A rare and ravishing antique treasure. Hand fabricated in rich 15ct yellow gold (hence, most likely of British origin, although decidedly in the French style). Circa 1880. Currently ring size 7 1/4.

About Victorian Jewelry

The eclectic Victorians didn’t limit themselves when it came to motifs and themes—if it struck their fancy, they turned it into jewelry. Sweet and sentimental with a distinct romantic streak, Victorian gems expanded upon their Georgian predecessors. The array of styles that blossomed (sometimes quite literally) during this era endure to this day.

Jewelry Care

As with anything of value, especially sentimental value, taking good care of your vintage and antique jewelry from Lang will enhance its beauty and extend its lifespan. We encourage you to have your jewelry checked and cleaned by us or by your trusted local jeweler every six months, to ensure that each piece is in good wearable condition with all gemstones in place. It’s not uncommon for stones to loosen over time, and it’s much easier to tighten a loose stone than to replace a lost one! As stated in our Repair Policy, we strongly recommend that you allow us to perform any repairs, since our jewelers are specialists in restoring vintage and antique jewelry.
