Solomon is a popular subject on those amulets precisely because of his reputation as a magician. While the matrices reusing the stones are post-eleventh century, most of the gems themselves date from the sixth century or before. Some members of the corpus have been found in England; can't remember whether any of those feature Solomon. For that, see Martin Henig's volume on gems found in England.
