$350,000 for this one. The cameo itself is Roman, but the setting looks 19th century?

 

Yes, cameo & mount are not contemporaneous. The gems used to illustrate the talk are mainly from this 2019 auction of gems from the Sangiorgi collection:

This one is near the bottom of the page. The Getty picked off the most coveted ones.

 

I bet the one of Isis was framed at the same time. It has the same setting and the same stones. Beat the snot out of its estimate. She went for more than the guy did.

But the signed ring's pricetag was eye-watering. Makes me wish I'd been the seller.
