Intaglios were used in ancient civilizations as seals for documents and goods. Men of all stations owned them, with precious gems or stones favored by the upper classes. This carved garnet intaglio in its 18 karat yellow gold setting was discovered in an antique stall in London. The profile is possibly the likeness of a god or a king. Kathy has paired it with a vintage 14 karat yellow gold wedding band, creating a gorgeous ring full of intrigue and history!
