Victorian Coral Greek Cameo Ring 14K

Carved cameos and gemstones were very popular in the 19th century. Grand Tour souvenirs depicting Greek or Roman themes were very fashionable and gave the wearer an air of sophistication and wealth. This Victorian ring is made of 14K gold and features a Greek man’s face carved in coral. I like the roughness and ancient feel of this cameo. The ring is a size 9.
