About the Item

The 7th century Roman intaglio is set into the Castellani® Artemis designed ring. The intaglio is set under the bezel, as jewellers did intaglio and cameo rings 2000 years ago. The gold braid is pronounced and raised from the inside of the bright polished frame. The subject is an aristocrat of Ancient Roman society. The intaglio is detailed and the profile including the hair, beard, face is quite defined. The outline of the ring is 21mm Front to Back 18mm Across 4mm Height (7/8” Front to Back ¾” Across 3/16” Height). The Castellani and Double C logo plates are affixed to the inside gallery of the ring. Castellani’s Jewellery from the 19th Century is in museums: British Museum; Victoria & Albert Museum; Metropolitan Museum of Art; The Smithsonian’s Cooper Hewitt Museum to name a few); exhibitions as well as in private collections. Fortunato Pio Castellani can be called the "Father of Archeological Revival Jewellery". In the mid 1800's in Rome, Castellani had the entree to visit the Ancient Etruscan ruins. He was able to study these Ancient designs as well as other Ancient Mediterranean civilizations’ jewellery and started to create and re-design under his brand.
