Antique Carnelian Agate Ring of 10k Gold

A striking antique ring dating to 1890–1900, centered with a richly colored carnelian agate cabochon set in a refined 10k gold mount. The warm, saturated tone of the agate is characteristic of late Victorian jewelry, offering both visual depth and timeless appeal. The gold shoulders are distinctively shaped as belt buckles, a symbolic and decorative motif of the period associated with fidelity, strength, and continuity.

The face of the ring measures 0.8 inches by 0.6 inches, rising 0.3 inches off the finger for a sculptural yet wearable presence. The ring is currently a size 7.25 and may be professionally resized for an additional charge.

Presented in great antique condition, the ring shows no notable damage and retains crisp detail throughout. Metal authenticity has been professionally verified using XRF (X-ray fluorescence) analysis and traditional jeweler’s acid testing, confirming solid 10k gold construction. A confident and elegant example of turn-of-the-century jewelry.
