This elegant signet ring is made from 14-karat gold and bears an engraving of special symbolic power on the centrally set layered agate. The smoothly polished, light gray agate is engraved with a delicate depiction of a sunflower turning towards the sun - a classic motif from the language of symbols. The sunflower stands for loyalty, warmth and life-affirming devotion. It is unwaveringly directed towards the light - a poetic symbol of sincere, devoted love. To the left and right of the depiction is the French inscription "À vous seul", which can be translated as "For you alone". The inscription is engraved into the stone in mirror image, so that the ring is actually carved as a seal. The writing then appears legible in the sealing wax. It is a ring for sealing love letters! Such individually engraved rings not only served as a piece of jewelry, but also had the practical purpose of reminding people to express their love with a letter. The heavy gold setting was probably made for the seal stone in the middle of the 20th century. A charming and meaningful unique piece with timeless expressiveness.
