A rare and powerfully evocative survivor from the late 19th to early 20th century: an authentic Neoclassical Revival intaglio ring depicting the sea god Poseidon (Roman Neptune) in full classical profile – bearded, long-haired, and with his legendary trident.

Masterfully hand-carved in deep relief-negative (true intaglio) into a vividly translucent blood-orange carnelian, the portrait remains exceptionally crisp after more than a century of existence. Four delicate prongs at the shoulder peaks subtly evoke the god’s crown, adding symbolic depth to this museum-worthy piece.

Set in heavy 10k yellow gold with bold, sculptural shoulders, the ring carries unmistakable gravitas and presence while remaining comfortable for daily wear.

  • Gemstone: Natural carnelian, hand-carved intaglio of Poseidon/Neptune with trident
  • Period: Late Victorian to Edwardian, circa 1880–1910
  • Metal: Solid 10k yellow gold (tested & stamped)
  • Face Dimensions: 19 mm × 13 mm (strong proportions)
  • Ring Size: 8.25
  • Total Weight: 4.5 grams
  • Condition: Excellent antique condition – carving remains sharp, stone flawless

Discovered in an attic estate clearance and passed down through generations, this is precisely the type of artifact that appears on Antiques Roadshow: a genuine, untouched piece of wearable history. Intaglio carnelian rings of this quality and subject matter are seldom seen on the open market today.

Perfect for collectors of mythological jewelry, Grand Tour souvenirs, Victorian intaglios, or bold statement signet-style rings.
