1893 Victorian Onyx Cameo Ring
£750.00

An atmospheric late Victorian hardstone cameo ring, crafted in rich 18ct gold and hallmarked Birmingham, 1893. At its centre sits a striking black onyx cameo, carved with the profile of a classical gentleman emerging in white against the dark stone. A border of softly glowing split pearls surrounds the cameo, their gentle lustre creating a beautiful contrast against the inky black onyx.


The shoulders are particularly lovely, with elegant openwork detailing leading into the gold band. This heirloom has a wonderful dark academia feel, reminiscent of candlelit libraries, ancient mythology, old portraits and leather bound books.


Cameos enjoyed popularity throughout the Victorian period, reflecting a fascination with antiquity, classical art and the ancient world. Dark, scholarly and wonderfully romantic, this is a Victorian jewel that feels as though it belongs amongst old books, Greek statues and the treasures of a nineteenth century collector’s cabinet.
