Antique 14K Gold Shell Cameo Ring — Size 5.5, Carved Male Profile
This antique ring features a finely carved shell cameo depicting a left-facing male profile, set in a tested 14K yellow gold mounting (unmarked, acid-tested). The cameo showcases warm coral and creamy white tones, with intricate detailing characteristic of late 19th to early 20th-century craftsmanship. The slender gold setting includes delicately etched shoulders, enhancing its vintage appeal.
Sized at 5.5 and weighing 2.76 grams, the ring has been resized at some point and exhibits signs of use consistent with its age. Male-profile cameos are less common than their female counterparts, adding a layer of rarity and historical interest to this piece. Such cameos often draw inspiration from classical figures, reflecting the neoclassical revival trends of the Victorian era.
This ring is a captivating addition for collectors of antique jewelry or those seeking a unique, historically rich accessory.
Condition
In good condition, showing visible signs of use and a past resizing. The cameo remains crisp and intact, while the gold setting has light surface wear and minor scratches consistent with age. No major structural issues or repairs noted. Please review the photos carefully for details.
