A Baer *-ring which is not embedded into $B(H)$

Assume $(A,+,.,*)$ be a complex algebra such that $(A,+,*)$ forms a Baer*-ring (where $*$ is the involution).

Q. Can we concluded that there exists a Hilbert space $H$ such that $A$ is embedded in $B(H)$ as a Baer*-ring? What about when $A$ is finite dimensional?
