Antique 4.80ct Agate and 9ct Yellow Gold Intaglio Ring Circa 1830

19th century
For Sale by AC Silver
Description

A stunning, fine and impressive antique 4.80 carat agate and 9 carat yellow gold intaglio signet ring; part of our gemstone jewellery collection.

This stunning, fine and impressive antique agate ring has been crafted in 9ct yellow gold.

The substantial antique ring setting displays an oval carved agate panel, ornamented with a carved intaglio.

The finely hand-crafted intaglio depicts a nude cherubic, allegorical figure carrying a large bunch of grapes; this is a popular motif from classical antiquity representing the harvest and abundance, in addition to often being associated with Bacchus/Dionysus.

The surrounding setting is plain and unembellished, melding with the bifurcating ring shoulders and blending seamlessly with the plain ring shank.

This antique signet ring has been independently tested using state of the art technology (Niton XL2 Analyzer) and verified as 9 carat gold.

This antique carved agate intaglio ring in gold is best suited to occasions that celebrate heritage, individuality and sophistication, making it an exceptional gift for someone who appreciates historic craftsmanship and symbolism. Intaglio rings, featuring gemstones carved with portraits, crests, mythological figures or classical motifs, have been admired for centuries as personal emblems of identity, status and taste.

Images do not always reflect the true colour and brilliance of gemstones and diamonds. The video however provides a truer representation of the actual colour and showcases each stone.

Condition

This substantial antique intaglio ring is exceptional quality, set with a hand carved banded agate intaglio.

The ring is a superior gauge of gold and is in exceptional condition.

Reflections in photographs may detract from the true representation of this fine example of antique jewellery.

This antique signet ring is formed from 9ct yellow gold and a 4.80 carat agate gemstone, dating from the period around 1830. The oval orange agate panel displays a detailed carved intaglio depicting a nude cherubic figure with wings carrying a bunch of grapes amidst foliage. The plain yellow gold bezel setting surrounds the stone, attaching to bifurcating shoulders that taper into a smooth, polished band. The setting measures 1.94 cm in length by 1.53 cm in width, with a height of 4.08 mm, and the ring is size O in the UK and 7 in the USA. This piece suits wear on the hand for special occasions or daily accessorising to add a touch of historical style and classical symbolism to personal attire.

An intaglio ring features a gemstone engraved with an incised image or figure below the surface, historically used to press impressions into sealing wax for letters and legal documents.

Georgian intaglio rings were typically crafted using yellow gold or pinchbeck, paired with hardstones such as agate, carnelian, chalcedony, or onyx that allowed for precise hand engraving.

Authentic 1830s intaglio rings exhibit hand-carved details with minor artistic variations, closed-back or rub-over bezel settings, fine split shoulders, and natural surface wear consistent with age.

An antique intaglio ring can be worn as a standalone statement piece alongside tailored classic clothing or layered with plain modern gold bands for a contemporary contrasted look.

Clean the ring using warm water, mild soap, and a soft cloth, ensuring the piece is dried thoroughly and kept away from ultrasonic cleaners or chemical solvents that could affect the stone or setting.
