AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Gorgeous Victorian Signed Schmoll shell cameo ring set in 9ct rose gold. The cameo is carved in relief from a shell, featuring a profile of Godess Flora. The shell appears to be a light color, contrasting with the darker background, which enhances the details of the carving. The gold setting follows the curve of the shell, a typical design element in Victorian-era cameo rings.
Cameo rings have a long history, dating back to ancient Greece and Rome. They experienced a resurgence in popularity during the Victorian era (1837-1901), when they were often worn as a symbol of sentimentality and remembrance. Shell cameos, like the one shown, became popular during this time. The carving on the cameo often depicted classical figures, mythological scenes, or portraits, reflecting the artistic tastes of the period.
The ring in the image appears to be dating back to the Victorian era or later, given the style of the setting and the carving. The overall design and craftsmanship suggest that this ring is a well-preserved example of a classic cameo ring.

Note:
Many of my items are vintage and are therefore likely to show some age-related wear. This can include things such as: missing stones scratches, discolouration etc. Please be sure to look through each photograph carefully and read the description fully, to get an idea of condition. The ring band looks slightly distorted.

Seller's Story
Executive summary:
Our mission is to empower discerning individuals to invest in the enduring beauty and appreciating value of unique antique jewellery, championing a sustainable future by celebrating the artistry and history of each eco-friendly treasure.
Our vision is to be recognised as a leader in sustainable luxury, transforming the perception of antique jewellery from mere adornment to a cherished, appreciating investment that enriches lives, preserves history, and champions environmental stewardship for generations to come.
Our core proposition lies in the inherent appreciation of antique jewellery's value over time. Unlike modern, mass-produced items, antique pieces benefit from scarcity, unparalleled craftsmanship, and significant historical provenance, ensuring their rarity and desirability only increase. This appreciation is further bolstered by the rising global value of gold and precious gemstones, which form the intrinsic foundation of these timeless treasures. Investors can realise substantial profits as both the material worth and the artistic/historical value of these pieces continue to climb.
Beyond the compelling financial returns, our venture strongly emphasises the profound ecological advantages of investing in antique jewellery. By acquiring and re-circulating existing pieces, we actively promote a circular economy, drastically reducing the environmental impact associated with new mining and manufacturing processes. This eco-friendly approach resonates deeply with a growing demographic of conscious consumers and investors seeking to make responsible choices.
Furthermore, each piece of antique jewellery tells a unique story, embodying a rich cultural history and exquisite artistry that transcends fleeting trends. This distinctiveness provides an unparalleled allure for discerning individuals seeking not just an investment, but a tangible connection to the past and a statement of individuality.
