This antique Georgian gold ring, dating to around 1820, is set with an earlier cameo from the late 16th to early 17th century. The cameo features a delicately carved profile and is framed within a scalloped and enamelled bezel, reminiscent of 17th-century ring designs—suggesting it was deliberately set in a style that pays homage to the earlier gem.The shoulders are adorned with repoussé acanthus leaves, leading to a fluted shank, a detail characteristic of early 19th-century jewellery. The bezel, measuring 7 x 9mm and protruding 4mm, incorporates an unusual design where one section slightly overhangs, yet this appears to be an intentional aesthetic choice, as evidenced by the enamelling.This ring came in a box from Parkes & Co., a renowned firm based at 12 Vigo Street, Regent Street. Established in 1777, Parkes & Co. specialised in high-class jewels, silver, and curiosities, suggesting that this piece was likely retailed through them.Unmarked but testing as 14K gold, the ring may indicate a German or Dutch origin. A rare example of a 19th-century setting preserving an earlier, 17th-century cameo, blending two distinct periods of craftsmanship.Size: UK N, US 6.75.Cameo: 6 x 5mm.Bezel: 7 x 9mm, protruding 4mm.Condition: Excellent antique condition, with enamel detailing well-preserved.
