About this ring

Intriguing. Who is this balding gent—Shakespeare, perhaps? Whether The Bard or someone else, it appears that a locket would not suffice and he wanted his beloved (or himself) to have a carved portrait close at hand. And it is a striking one indeed. Intricately hand carved in high-contrasting black and white onyx, the cameo is presented in a gleaming 14K yellow gold frame and elegantly accented by flared split shoulders. Engraved on the reverse with, “Carolan to Etheldruida Sept. 1898," it is currently a ring size 8 1/2.
