Georgian NeoClassical 18ct Gold and Hardstone Cameo Ring of Atlas

788R
960 Admirers
Written by Olly Gerrish

This style of ring became popular in the late 18th century, following the discovery of the ruins of the Roman town of Pompeii in 1748, inspiring a trend for the classical. Our example centres on a large, oval hardstone cameo depicting Atlas, the Titan god who bore the world on his shoulders. Regardless of the feats of Atlas, this 18ct gold ring, with its broad shoulders and wide band, is wonderfully comfortable to wear.

It is certainly a conversation piece.
