Antique Hermes Carnelian Agate in 9 Carat Rose Gold; Circa 1912

This exquisite Edwardian era signet ring, hallmarked for 1912, features a finely carved cameo agate depicting Hermes, the messenger of the gods, in elegant high relief. The classical rendering captures Hermes’ refined profile with crisp detail, from the distinctive winged helmet to the serene expression that embodies swiftness, eloquence, and protection.

Set in a warm 9 carat rose gold mount, the ring blends the romance of the early 20th century with the enduring allure of ancient myth. The craftsmanship speaks to a period when jewellery was not merely decorative, but symbolic. A statement of taste, intellect, and personal story.

A piece that transcends fashion, this ring carries over a century of history while remaining strikingly relevant today. Whether worn as a signet, a statement jewel, or a talisman, it bridges the worlds of antiquity and Edwardian elegance with effortless grace
