A CURATED PAIR OF EXCEPTIONAL RINGS MEANT TO BE WORN TOGETHER: ONE RING IS AN ANCIENT ROMAN INTAGLIO OF CHALCEDONY IN 18k GOLD. THE OTHER, A VICTORIAN CARNELIAN SIGNET RING FROM THE 1830s. A STORIED ALBEIT REMARKABLY CHIC PAIR.


A COLLECTORS MUST because the pairing of these two rings unites Diana, the Roman goddess, and a little dog, with an early-19th Century carnelian engraved with a heraldic crest and crown: It's not often that an engraving from the 1st–2nd century BC meets Victorian symbolism. Offered exceptionally as a pair, this is two eras and one story.

STYLE: This duo is for collectors who like their jewels with strong earth colours and narrative depth. Wear one ring on each hand or stack both to merge gold, mythology and heraldry. As is evident in the Gallery, this is a stack we love for all genders.

Our Price Analysis

A JUSTIFIED PRICE because

• HERITAGE & RARITY: This pairing uniquely combines two distinct cultural artefacts—one an authentic Roman intaglio from the 1st–2nd century BC, the other a finely engraved Victorian signet ring from circa 1830. Both are individually rare, and even more so as a curatorial pairing.

• DESIGN & PERIOD: Each ring showcases its era’s approach to symbolism. Both Roman mythological devotion and Victorian heraldic identity are beautifully preserved in 18 k gold mounts from the 19th century.

• GEMSTONE MERIT: The Nicolo intaglio is cut from layered two-tone chalcedony, prized for its optical contrast and engraving clarity; the carnelian signet’s crisp engraving and preservation add collectible value.

COLLECTOR VALUE: Museum-quality examples of personal jewellery from two influential periods, this duo offers narrative depth and historical integrity few can match.
