Description

On many of the occasions when we sign our name or show our ID today, people in past centuries used a seal. The seal impression was used to authenticate letters and documents, to seal goods, stocks, chests or doors. A signet ring was an indispensable utensil for wealthy citizens and at the same time a status symbol. This piece of jewellery is just such a signet ring. It was created in the early years of the last century, as its powerful floral design reveals, which came into fashion around 1900. The wide yellow gold setting features voluminous leaf ornaments and a polished heliotrope disc. The stone, also known as blood jasper due to its red spangles against a dark green background, is particularly suitable for engraving. A skilled stone cutter can engrave a coat of arms or monogram into it. However, the stone is also beautiful in this undecorated form. The ring can be worn to great effect by both men and women. It came to us from the county of Bentheim, is beautifully preserved and impresses with its elegant yet powerful design.
