Cameos are part of glyptic art and represent some design that stands out in relief (the opposite of intaglios), but they are more than just engraving- they can tell us a story of art and fashion changes through the centuries.

Appearing centuries ago, cameos always carried some message that the wearer wanted to reveal to the public: “it protects me in a fight” as an amulet in ancient Greece; “I am wealthy and respectable” as an expensive collectible piece in Renaissance; or “I am educated and well-traveled” as a Grand Tour souvenir in Victorian England.

This stunning conversion ring features an angel's face in a buttery 14k gold setting. His sweet face and present expression can put a smile on your face each time you glance at it. A beautiful addition to any ring stack or historical collection.
