ROMAN EMERALD INTAGLIO WITH FORTUNA IN GOLD RING Ca. 200-300 AD
An oval-shaped emerald intaglio that is engraved with a depiction of a standing figure of the goddess Fortuna set in a Victorian period gold ring formed of a round-section rod that is elegantly shaped, giving it a striking appearance. Fortuna, who is one of the most revered goddesses in Roman mythology was the goddess of fortune and luck, and she was believed to bring success and prosperity to those who worshipped her. She was often depicted as a standing figure, holding a cornucopia in one hand and a rudder in the other. The cornucopia symbolized abundance, while the rudder symbolized her control over destiny. The goddess was worshipped by people from all walks of life, including emperors, soldiers, and merchants, who sought her blessings for their endeavors.

Just so you all know, none of these are edible. These are not foods, they are ancient gemstone intaglios which were mounted on rings. Do not put these in your mouth!

I've just finished making these ancient Roman inspired "laurel wreath" crowns out of jewel beetle shells and preserved 17 year cicada wings. I've done three of the jewel beetle ones, so one is in my Etsy (link in bio), the cicada wing one is one of a kind so far so I haven't listed it yet. I'm really happy with how these came out!
