Gem carving, known as intaglio, is an ancient art form. . .
Gem carving, known as intaglio, is an ancient art form that traces its origins to the 14th century BCE. Practiced by early civilizations in Mesopotamia, Assyria and Phoenicia, it later flourished in Greece and Rome, though the intricate techniques of intaglio carving required years of dedicated practice. Intaglio gems continued to appear in fashionable jewelry into the 19th and 20th centuries. Using ancient artistry, Victorian gems and modern vision, this jewel unites thousands of years of history into one unique, wearable artifact. Set in 14K yellow gold.
