AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Ring with Sardonica Cameo in Shell, hand-engraved, and Elaborate 925 Silver Mount – Torre del Greco Craftsmanship
Refined and elegant sculptural ring with a hand-engraved cameo on Sardonica shell, the fruit of the renowned and centuries-old tradition of master artisans from Torre del Greco.
The oval cameo (dimensions 2.50 x 2.00 cm) depicts a classic and elegant female profile, finely worked in the details of the hairstyle and drapery. The brownish-orange background typical of the Sardonica shell creates a sharp and pleasing contrast with the white relief of the carved profile.
The mounting is a true masterpiece of goldsmithing: made in 925 silver, it features a pierced volute and scrollwork design with a Baroque/antique taste, enhanced by elegant gold-toned and darkened details and decorative settings that give light, depth, and character to the jewel.
This jewel comes from a private collection and is a unique piece, perfect for wearing on special occasions or preserving as a collectible item.
