Vintage Mid-Century Sardonyx Cameo Cocktail Ring 14k

This Mid-Century cocktail ring features a carved sardonyx cameo layered over black onyx, creating a two-tone relief design. The piece is set in 14 karat yellow gold with a twisted gold border around the stone.

Sardonyx is a banded agate that ranges from white to orange-brown, and when carved in layers it creates contrast against the deep black onyx background—this technique produces the classic cameo effect where the design sits raised above the dark base.

The substantial size and bold color contrast make this a statement piece that's easily visible when worn. The twisted gold border adds textural detail and frames the carving.
