A striking Edwardian intaglio ring, created in buttery 18 carat gold and set with a cushion cut agate. The stone is especially beautiful, showing subtle variations of tone. From soft amber to deep, moody brown. Intricately engraved in reverse, the intaglio depicts the goddess Diana, identifiable by her crescent moon headdress.

In Roman mythology, Diana was the goddess of the moon, the hunt, and nature, symbolising independence, intuition, and feminine strength. Her image was a popular motif in classical revival jewellery, admired for both her beauty and the protective, empowering qualities she represented.

The ring itself has a notably heavy and tactile setting, with a smooth gold bezel that feels wonderfully balanced on the hand. A true mark of fine Edwardian craftsmanship and enduring quality.

Intaglios, carved in reverse into gemstones, have been worn since antiquity as personal seals, protective amulets, and emblems of identity. This early 20th century example continues that ancient tradition with quiet strength and sophistication.

A jewel as sought after today as it was over 115 years ago. Elegant, powerful, and timeless.
