Description

The signet ring was already an important symbol in ancient times. In addition to its function as a representative piece of jewelry, it was also used to seal documents. In almost all eras, this type of ring was reserved for the upper classes: it was charged with content and was often considered a sign of luxurious origin and social influence. This ring is such a signet ring and was created around 1880. The ring band is designed as a wide, ornamentally engraved band with slightly flared shoulders. The simple setting of reddish gold holds a polished disc of red and white hardstone in a rectangular shape. The carnelian-colored top on a light background is particularly suitable for engraving. A skilled stone cutter could carve a monogram or coat of arms here. But even in its simple, unadorned form, the ring has a timeless aesthetic. The ring can be worn effectively by both men and women. We discovered it in the south of England. It is in very good condition.
