This extraordinary ladies' commemorative ring made of 925 silver, a piece of jewellery from the 1960s, embodies the timeless elegance and artistic heritage of past centuries. At its centre is an exquisite cameo, masterfully carved from shell, depicting the bust of a lady in profile. With a grace reminiscent of the ancient beauties of the classicist and historicist eras, her lush curls flow gently down her neck, while delicate, long earrings and a flower on her shoulder adorn her face.
The cameo, probably created in the traditional Bay of Naples, captivates with its filigree attention to detail and the warm, natural colouring of the shell. The ornate portrait is framed by a silver frame decorated with a finely crafted cord edge. This detailed work reinforces the historical aura of the piece of jewellery and blends harmoniously into the overall picture.
The ring head flows smoothly into a wide ring band, which is not only visually appealing, but also ensures a secure and comfortable hold. With a size that covers an entire phalanx, this ring is an imposing yet elegant accessory that captivates with its classic beauty. It is a testament to the enduring popularity of cameos, which have lost none of their fascination even in the 20th century, and remains a stylish highlight in any jewellery collection to this day.
