A fine antique carved cameo ring.
In 14 karat yellow gold.
Bezel-set with a carved coral cameo in high relief supported by a wide tapered shank.
The cameo depicts what appears to be a Renaissance figure - a bearded man resembling Leonardo da Vinci (possibly a Grand Tour depiction).
(The ring is likely a 20th Century conversion of an brooch or pendant.)
Simply a wonderful cameo ring!
