Description

The antique signet ring presented here sets a cameo cut in red, two-tone hardstone with a family coat of arms. It shows a divided field: on the left we see two fish on a red tinged background, while the right field shows a silver diagonal bar against a blue background. A helmet with two more fish as decoration crowns the curved shield. This is probably the alliance coat of arms of two families from the Swiss or Upper Rhine region, as the field with the fish and its crest are similar to the coat of arms of the County of Pfirt from Upper Alsace. The oval stone carving is set in high-carat gold. Three old-cut diamonds accompany it on the left and right. A dedication engraving under the ring face bears the initials "C. P. v. H." and the date May 20, 88, which refers to the year 1888. Undoubtedly owned by a distinguished family, the exact provenance of the ring, which is suitable for both ladies and gentlemen, is still unclear. In any case, the ring is an attractive opportunity for heraldists and anyone interested in heraldry. The ring is in very good condition and came to us from Stuttgart.
