A poetic jewel from the heart of the Victorian era, this exquisite hardstone cameo and rose cut diamond ring is a true ode to romance and artistry. Crafted in rich antique gold - tested as approximately 15ct - this evocative piece possibly portrays Erato, the muse of lyric and romantic poetry, delicately carved with a lyre in hand. Her presence conjures a quiet reverence for beauty, creativity, and love.
 
The warm, rosy tones of the hardstone cameo are framed by a halo of characterful rose cut diamonds, their soft shimmer catching the light like candlelit reflections. Further rose cut diamonds adorn the shoulders, enhancing the ring’s gentle glow and lending an air of refined elegance to the design.
 
Measuring approximately 17.5 x 10mm across the head, this piece makes a graceful yet compelling statement. It currently sits at a UK size K½, with evidence of previous resizing - entirely in keeping with its age and journey through time. Though unmarked, the ring has been tested to confirm its approximate 15ct gold content and remains in good antique condition.
 
A rare and meaningful treasure, this ring embodies the Victorian fascination with symbolism and sentiment. Whether worn as a personal talisman or admired as a collector’s piece, it carries with it the whispers of poetry, love, and timeless beauty.
