**Originally Listed At $700** Western Europe, probably England or France, Neoclassical Period, ca. 19th century CE. A gorgeous and wearable ring constructed from a 57.14% gold body and a hand-carved red jasper intaglio featuring the bust of a prominent man. The shank splits in the middle beneath the setting, and the setting itself exhibits an ovoid bezel flanked with a pair of chevron-shaped fins. The opaque, crimson-hued jasper intaglio bears the image of a well-dressed, left-facing man - perhaps an ancient Roman emperor - who has a large eye, a sizable nose, and gaunt cheeks beneath a finely incised coiffure. A stylish example of Neoclassical artistry!
