Roman Imperial Intaglio Ring

Carved in an onyx intaglio- called nicolo known for its translucent bluish-grey hue, this Roman Imperial gem from 2nd to 3rd century A.D is set in a bold square modern gold ring with diamonds.

The intaglio depicts a krater, an ancient ceremonial vase, with high foot, graceful S-shaped handles, and a wide brim overflowing with fruit.

 It represented abundance, fertility, and the eternal renewal of life, a symbolic promise of Rebirth.

More than a jewel, this piece carries the quiet power of a timeless message, passed down through centuries.

The Nicolo has been seen by renowned expert Jeffrey Spier.
