    • A striking gold ring, dating from the early 20th century. The figural shoulders are adorned with angelic putti motifs, delicately sculpted to depict Eros, the Greek God of love and desire, who is often associated with Cupid in Roman mythology. These cherubic figures bring an air of romance and whimsy to the piece.

      At the heart of the design is an oval intaglio, engraved in the ancient Roman style to portray Eros holding a torch. In classical iconography, the torch symbolises how love 'inflames the heart’.

      The intaglio measures an impressive 18mm x 12mm, providing a bold focal point that complements the intricate detailing on the shoulders. The ring is stamped with a 375 hallmark for 9K gold and weighs 7.1 grams, offering a substantial feel when worn.

      This unique piece is a UK size R (US size 8.5). It remains in very good condition.
