An incredible antique 18ct gold ring, set with a hardstone cameo.

The cameo is intricately and skilfully hand-carved, and likely depicts the Italian Renaissance writer Dante Alighieri.

Dante is most famous for the 1300's epic poem Divine Comedy (including the Inferno,) and this ring probably dates to the late 1800s, when there was a renewed interest in the Renaissance and its most influential figures.

A wonderful, novel piece of collectable antique jewellery, this ring would enhance a ring or literary collection.

There are part hallmarks to the inside for 18ct gold, along with the maker's stamp MW.

- UK Size: S
