Classic antique Victorian 14 carat gold ring with a carved coral woman's face, possibly dating to Ancient Rome, mounted during the early Victorian period .

1830-50. <P><P>
US size 7. Almost 5/8inches long. <P><P>
Great orange-red colour to the coral with no striations in paler shades. The oval-shaped coral is deeply carved by a master into the form of a front-facing

woman, beautiful round face, great detail to hair and wearing a crown of some sort. She looks like an Ancient Greek / Roman woman of Royalty and may be a

goddess. Very finely done. Old Greek and Roman cameos were re-used by the Georgian and Victorians.
The coral is set in a gold mount with delicate triangular openwork pattern on the sides to echo the curves of the clasps that hold the coral. The band is

tubular and thin, - looks very elegant, even on a less than elegant finger. The tubular band of this ring is typical of the Georgians, while the clasping

mount is more Victorian in style.<P><P>
The inside of the band has something engraved - whether a hallmark or initials, it has been obscured and is not quite legible. The ring was tested for 14

carat gold. <P><P>
Condition is good.
