A 9ct Yellow Gold Shell Cameo Ring

A yellow gold ring featuring a central oval carved shell cameo. The cameo depicts a classical female profile in relief, facing right, with detailed coiffure. The shell exhibits a warm orange-brown ground contrasting with a creamy-white carved figure. The cameo is secured in a multi-claw setting. The shoulders of the ring are embellished with decorative openwork scroll and bow motifs, leading to a plain polished shank. Marks are present on the interior of the shank but are not clearly legible; however, an accompanying tag indicates the gold purity as .375.
