Victoria Strigini: Ancient Roman Garnet Intaglio in 18k Gold Chevalière Ring
About the Item
Victoria Strigini (b. 1991)
A contemporary 18k yellow gold ring, featuring a 2nd- 3rd century AD Roman cabochon intaglio in garnet, set in a strikingly pure, rounded modern mount. A wreathed young man in noble profile is delicately incised in the notably high, dome-shaped intaglio. The youthfulness of his healthy cheek contrasts with the carefully chiseled muscles of his neck, attesting to the Roman artist's skill. The intricacy of the carving is enhanced by the richness and drama of the garnet's color. The ancient carving, steeped in history and emotion, is set in an arrestingly pared-down mount hand-made in the designer's London workshop. This refined ring plays with the contradictions between its antique carving and ultra-modern setting, resolving them in a unity of clean spherical lines and breathing a precious second life into a piece of history.
Victoria Strigini is a French-born, London-based jewelry designer. Her work reimagines Greek and Roman antiquities for the present, setting rare intaglios, cameos, and coins in bold, minimalist mounts with pure and subtle lines. Her jewelry presents striking contrasts while highlighting the timelessness of century-old objects. “Classical gemstones have survived for more than 2,000 years—that alone is magical,” Strigini says. “Imagining all of the hands they've passed through and then owning one of these treasures essentially inserts you into its history. It’s like a never-ending story.”
Strigini’s work resolves contradiction: between the history of the unique artifacts and the modern settings she creates for them. Between the hand-hewn detailing of the carvings, and linear mounts stripped to their essence. Between the emotional underpinnings of the stones and the rigor of their 18k gold frames. With an appreciation for jewelry’s past and an understanding of its future as necessarily sustainable, Victoria reclaims history while embracing eco-responsibility. Fashioned from recycled gemstones and gold by highly skilled Mayfair-based artisans, her jewelry harnesses centennial traditions of craftsmanship in service of a strong modern vision, to create responsibly and wear with ease.
The daughter of a painter and the granddaughter of an artist and seamstress, Strigini was raised in a tradition of deep female creativity, learning early on the importance of materials, quality, and ingenuity. After studying art history, she received diplomas in Jewelry Design, CAD, and Diamond Grading from the Gemological Institute of America in New York, before returning to London and founding her eponymous line in 2019.
