Vintage English ring with a hand-carved rectangular cameo and a solid 9-karat gold setting. The piece is hallmarked with British hallmarks, including the number “375” (9k gold), the Birmingham anchor, and dates from the mid-20th century.
The cameo depicts the profile of a female figure, sculpted on a small plaque of shell or coral in two tones: white and orange-brown. The prong setting allows light to pass through the stone from below, highlighting the contrast of the relief. The ring features an understated design.
This type of jewelry was once a common coming-of-age gift or family heirloom, and today it represents an elegant and accessible option for those seeking jewelry with history and classic charm.
