When I saw this ring at the antique shop I could barely believe mine eyes. A locket cameo ring? Shaped like a book? With an amazing chased band? Oh please. I've done quite a bit of looking around in internetland and I can't find anything like this. Maybe they tend to stay in families and don't reach the auction/retail market very often? I think this is a pretty special piece. Alas, it does not fit me so I just stocked it in the shop!
