Garnet Intaglio Ring

Sublimely elegant Georgian 18ct ring c.1820 housing a garnet intaglio of a Ptolemaic head, likely 1st or 2nd century BCE.

The gold has a warm, buttery finish and the Roman setting is impeccable.

The corkscrew curls of the hairstyle associate the head with Ptolemaic classical heads of Isis and Cleopatra.
