Gem carving, known as intaglio, is an ancient art form that traces its origins to the 14th century BCE. Practiced by early civilizations in Mesopotamia, Assyria and Phoenicia, it later flourished in Greece and Rome, though the intricate techniques of intaglio carving required years of dedicated practice. In ancient Rome, gemstone intaglios were especially popular and highly prized. Roman men of high social status often wore intaglio rings, using them to imprint their seals on wax.
