A rare and truly unique antique 9ct gold agate cameo ring! This beautiful Edwardian piece, hallmarked at Chester Assay Office in 1913, features a round bezel-set agate cameo carved with the head of a man in profile, likely representing a monk or scholar in the style of medieval or Renaissance portraiture. The stone shows a dusky-green-to-bottle-green shade with the figure carved in white, offering strong contrast and lovely detail. The cameo setting measures approx. 11mm across, mounted in a simple polished yellow gold band. Both unusual and collectible, with added charm from the historic Chester hallmark, this is a fascinating piece of jewellery that is perfect to add to your curiosities and collections!
