Antique Silver Glass Intaglio Jewelry a chased top and bottomAn insanely chunky antique Silver ring (XRF tested) set with a remarkably executed glass intaglio of 9th century Anglo Saxon King Alfred the Great The wonderfully precise execution of the Kings profile starkly contrasts the naturalistic rub over setting and unevenness of the thick shank The intaglio remains securely set and without movement The surface of the glass is abraded and lightly chipped A truly unashamedly unique piece Weighy 28. 4g Face
