Roman "Asclepius & Hygeia" Carnelian Intaglio Signet Ring

A fascinating antique signet ring with an ancient Roman intaglio. The carnelian agate intaglio depicts two Greek gods- Asclepius, the god of medicine and Hygeia, his daughter and goddess of health. Asclepius carries a snake-entwined staff, while facing his daughter. The ring mount is crafted in solid 18 karat yellow gold.

Asclepius was the son of Apollo and mortal princess Coronis. His name- literally meaning "to cut open" as he was born by caesarean section. He was married to Epione, the goddess of pain relief and healing. Her name comes from the Greek word "epios", which means "soothing". They together had a number of children, including Hygiea. Asclepius was given to the Centaur Chiron, the wisest of all centaurs, who raised him and taught him medicine and the healing arts. Legend has it, at some point along the way, Asclepius healed a snake, which in return taught him secret knowledge... Snakes were considered divine beings that were wise and could heal and this is how his symbol came along.

Hygeia's (hygiene) classical symbol was a bowl containing a medicinal potion with the serpent of wisdom consuming it. This is the same serpent of wisdom, which appears on the staff of Aesculapius. She played an important part in her father's cult, while her father was more directly associated with healing, she was associated with the prevention of sickness and the continuation of good health.

Three antique pendants, c. 1905. These pendants are very British, as seed pearl jewellery of this kind was exceedingly popular in Edwardian era Britain (1901-10). Mounted in yellow gold and often accentuated by coloured gemstones that were then considered ‘semi-precious’, this type of jewellery could have been worn for informal affairs during the day.

Antique French Quimper Porcelain & Enamel Rivière Necklace

Quimper, pronounced “cam-pair” has been manufactured in Quimper, a town in Brittany, France for over 300 years. Created in 1690 at the time of the royal manufactures, they specialised in earthenware- tableware, interior decoration and also a line of elegant jewellery. Earthenware is glazed or unglazed pottery that has normally been fired below 1,200 degrees. Earlier stoneware was carefully marked because of government regulations, however for the most part Quimper pottery was not systematically marked until around 1870. 

This amazing piece dates to around 1780. The rivière style necklace is made up of hearts, with lovely enamel portraits. As you go along each portrait, a small story is told, well matched with the hearts. They're set in place with claw settings, linked together by two fine chains and it fastens with a hook and eye type clasp. It has a wearable length of 16 inches and remains in incredible condition considering it's age
