This exceptional intaglio showcases the revered Hermes with Lyre motif, a tribute to the messenger god of ancient Greece known for his eloquence, cunning, and musical talent. Delicately engraved onto a luminous blue chalcedony gemstone and beautifully set within an 18K gold ring, the design's shoulders are adorned with the classical "Green Man" renaissance mask motif. Drawing inspiration from an iconic ancient Greek intaglio previously owned by the 3rd Duke of Marlboro, this piece weaves a tale of history, music, and divine intervention.
