Excellent work. If you decide to sell them, what is your price estimate?

That's very impressive. Out of curiousity, where did you get the portrait? Is it based on an actual find?

The portrait is a reproduction of Roman glass paste but I do not know the name.

I'll just bet he's a horseman in the Batavi, right?

Just received my rings. I've to say in real you appreciate Marcos craftmanship even more as at the pictures. These rings are perfect.

Thank you very much, Marco. I would kindly recommend your work!

Thanks Jurjen , I'm glad for your words and I'm very happy you're appreciate them Big Grin

This is another, my first attempt of lost wax bronze ring with cameo glass ... much more complicated, but now I have to improve!
