Vintage Ornate Carnelian Intaglio Ring in 9 Carat Gold; Circa 1989

This striking vintage ring captures the romance and grandeur of the Victorian era making it a piece that bridges history with modern craftsmanship. A magical ring. 

The ring is set with a richly hued carnelian intaglio, intricately engraved with a heraldic shield framed in ornate scrollwork. The detail of the carving is exceptional, recalling the Victorian fascination with heraldry, symbolism, and the revival of medieval motifs during the 19th century.

The warm 9 carat yellow gold mount provides the perfect backdrop to the fiery orange tones of the carnelian, with elegant split shoulders adding balance and refinement. Though made in the late 20th century, its design pays strong homage to the signet and intaglio rings so beloved in the Victorian period; pieces that were as much about personal identity and family pride as they were about adornment.

This is a ring with timeless appeal. Equally wearable as a statement jewel today as it would have been in the Victorian drawing room. Its heraldic carving offers a sense of history, symbolism, and quiet power, while its craftsmanship ensures durability for years to come.
