Late Victorian Egyptian Revival Enamel Egyptian Face Ring

Description
A fantastic ring from the Late Victorian (ca1900s) era! Crafted in 18kt yellow gold, this oval-shaped ring features a beautifully enameled, detailed face of an Egyptian man. He dons a nemes (the traditional headwear of ancient Egyptian royalty), which is adorned by gorgeous blue and green enameling. Lines of the vibrant 18kt yellow gold separate each enamel stripe, framing his beautifully detailed face. A black and gold choker and white apparel complete his handsome look. The ring's centerpiece has been secured to a 14kt rosy gold shank with beautifully engraved shoulders to give it a new life. This ring would be perfect for any Egyptian Revival collector, and would make a very impressive addition to any jewelry collection!

The centerpiece measures nearly 1" tall , 11/16" wide, and rests 1/8" above the finger when worn.
