Victorian 15K Carnelian Shakespeare Cameo Ring

A tribute to the Bard, carved in stone. This striking Victorian ring features a finely detailed carnelian cameo, capturing the unmistakable profile of William Shakespeare in creamy relief against a deep rust-red background. Framed by an ornate gold setting, its shoulders are adorned with scrolling motifs—subtle flourishes that echo the elegance of Elizabethan script. A ring for a literary soul, a poet at heart, or one who simply appreciates the weight of history resting against their hand.

Crafted in 15 karat gold and tested for purity, this ring is a size 11 and weighs 5.22 grams. The central carnelian measures 9 mm by 12.5 mm, with the full face of the ring measuring 15.4 mm by 19 mm, rising 5.3 mm off the finger. The band tapers to 3.8 mm at the back, ensuring a comfortable fit while maintaining its substantial presence. Though the hallmarks are worn, their ghostly impressions hint at the craftsmanship of a bygone era.

To wear it is to carry the spirit of Shakespeare himself—a talisman for those who find their truth in words, their passion in verse, and their romance in the pages of history.
