Book Your AppointmentThis style of ring became popular in the late 18th century, following the discovery of the ruins of the Roman town of Pompeii in 1748, inspiring a trend for the classical. Our example centres on a large, oval hardstone cameoA layered stone or shell in which the design is cut in relief where the main design is carved onto the top layer and the remainder is carved away to reveal the next layer using the natural colours of the stone or shell to produce the different shadings of the carving. This is done in shell, coral, lava and various stones. More depicting Sisyphus that is most likely of Roman origin.
In Greek mythology, Sisyphus was known for his punishment in the underworld. His eternal task was to roll a boulder up a hill, only to watch it roll back down before he could reach the top. This futile and repetitive labour has become a symbol of the somewhat absurd nature of what we go through as human beings at various pointsA unit of weight for a diamond, being one-hundredth of a metric carat. It is used for weights that are decimal fractions of a carat, and all figures after the second decimal point are, in the diamond and jewellery trade, generally discarded. More of our lives.
It is certainly a conversation piece.
