A Victorian ring with a cameo composed of a red glass base and a white porcelain overlay, imitating the look of carnelian two-layer stone.
The lady’s profile stands out beautifully against the translucent red glass.
Set in a 9ct gold frame with a silver band, a truly classical piece.
Period : Late 19th century
Brand / Country : Bought in UK
Material : glass, porcelain, 9ct gold (frame, no mark), silver (ring, no mark)
Size：UK T1/2, cameo approx 1.6cm x 1.2cm)

Condition：★★★★☆
There are some very minor nibbles to the red glass, and the white porcelain cameo shows crazing (fine lines that appear in the glaze of ceramics due to the natural difference in shrinkage between glaze and body, not actual cracks). The silver and gold parts show slight tarnish from age. Otherwise, the ring remains in very good condition.
