This Victorian intaglio ring is a luxurious and gorgeous jewel of buttery deep gold! We adore the defined and detailed intaglio image which has been expertly carved by hand in bloodstone.

The intaglio here depicts quite a striking character. A side profile of a boar with mouth open, tongue out and bearing its large teeth, a heraldic image often used for Scottish Clans. The image has been beautify hand carved in the bloodstone which is an ideal gemstone lending itself to the dramatic rendering. Underneath and above the image we have the word ‘Archerfield‘ which is a Scottish estate and the phrase ‘Fergus Memorial Prize‘.

No expense was spared when this was originally created with the settings created from warm rich 18 carat gold. This is a tactile ring which can be beautifully worn with your other jewels stacked up or solo for an antique treasure.

Overall a sublime piece of historical jewellery which would have been worn by an individual of good standing during the Victorian era onwards. This would be the perfect addition to any jewellery lovers collection.
