Description: Ladies' 22K Yellow Gold Carved Frosted Intaglio Crystal Ring From the George I. Norman Jr. Estate We are delighted to present a rare and extraordinary piece from the esteemed George I. Norman Jr. Estate in Holladay, Utah—renowned for its iconic "Catch Me If You Can" underground tunnel, bulletproof glass, and celebrity-caliber security. This 22K Yellow Gold Carved Frosted Intaglio Crystal Ring is a stunning testament to the Norman family's legacy of luxury and refinement. Historical Significance The art of carved Intaglio crystals traces its roots to the Roman Empire, where such rings served as signet seals. Pressed into colored wax, these intricate carvings left a distinct impression, ensuring the authenticity and security of important documents. This timeless craftsmanship is beautifully preserved in the ring's design, blending history with elegance. About the Ring Material: 22K Yellow Gold Gemstone: Intaglio Carved Frosted Crystal Design: Greek or Roman-style male figure, intricately detailed in the head and torso Shape: Oval, flat-top crystal measuring 21 x 24 x 5.5 mm Setting: Sculpted six-prong basket crown Weight: 19.5 grams Size: 7.5 Condition The crystal bears a minor, superficial mark on the upper right circumference near a gold prong. This subtle flaw is barely noticeable and does not affect the integrity or beauty of the piece. Valuation Gold Value Alone: Appraised at $2,785 Total Appraised Value: $5,800 (evaluated by a GIA and DGC-certified gemologist) This one-of-a-kind ring has been securely stored in the family vault since the early 1970s and is now being offered to the public for the first time. A comparable gemstone of this size and quality, sourced from an Italian Intaglio mine and set in 22K yellow gold, could be valued at three to four times the current price. Exclusive Offering Discounted Price: $3,290 USD This piece is perfect as a unique anniversary gift, a memorable wedding ring, or an exceptional investment in fine jewelry. The Intaglio crystal’s pedigree and craftsmanship make it an unparalleled addition to any collection. Inquiries Serious inquiries only, please. For more information, contact: George I.
