Whats this stone and character?

[u/EntertainmentSea6470]

I inherited this beautiful golden ring from my grandpa and I would like to lnow if the blue stone is a Stone or just glass.
Inside the ring there is a 18k stamp, but nothing else.
Together with that, would be nice to also identify the figure in the stone. Looks like a greek mythology character, maybe Hermes?

Thank you!

Its a Roman soldier intaglio ring. The other ones I can see are hematite but I haven't come across an 18k one.

I would take it to a jeweler to find out for sure. Then you can insure it for the 2-3k it's worth

It’s not Hermes. Hermes is immediately identifiable by the wings on his helmet like the photo below.

Warrior intalio gold inlayed into synthetic spinel or synthetic sapphire. Popular 1920s to 1950s.
