Highlights
A distinguished and large antique 10k gold intaglio ring showcasing a Victorian-era clear glass intaglio with striking detail.
Depicted is the legendary Greek hero Heracles, known to the Romans as Hercules, reclining on the iconic Nemean lion's skin, which he claimed as a symbol of his first great victory. Engraved on the side is the name Burch, the renowned gem engraver Edward Burch (1730-1814), whose works are celebrated by The British Museum as masterpieces of 18th-century intaglio carving.
The intaglio is likely a Victorian-era replica of an original design by Edward Burch.
The glass intaglio measures approximately 2.4 cm x 2 cm, with the ring weighing an impressive 16.0 grams. Sized at US 6 or UK M.
This piece has no hallmark but acid tests as solid 10k gold.
In good antique condition, this intaglio ring carries the natural signs of age that enhance its charm and timeless allure. Antique treasures such as this often display gentle wear, only adding to their storied past, please refer to images for further detail.
In Greek mythology, Heracles’ lion skin is a powerful emblem of strength, courage, and triumph over adversity.
