An interesting 18ct gold ring that was made circa 1800-1820. It has been set with green glass carved with an intaglio of Janus, the Roman God of change, transition and all beginnings.\u00a0 He also represents time because he can see into the future with one face and into the past with the other.\u00a0 It is likely that January, the first month of the year is named after him.<\/p>\n
Glass intaglios were originally produced by James Tassie (1735\u20131799) who was a Scottish gem engraver and modeller. Tassie modelled in wax. They were then cast in coloured paste or glass against a background of subdued coloured paper placed behind. Others copied the technique.\u00a0 The shank is a lovely fluted design.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
