This amazing antique signet ring is a luxurious and gorgeous jewel of buttery deep gold! We adore the defined and detailed intaglio. A fabulous addition to any jewellery lover‘s collection.

The intaglio here has been hand engraved into an oval bloodstone. The image of that of a man above/within a crown, and looking closely you will see the most amazing detail has been achieved all by hand. We can see a beard, crown, nose and what seem a somewhat surprised expression. It‘s such a rare and visually rich piece. And in remarkable condition!

The ring itself is created from 18 carat gold. A heavy (over 9 grams!) and tactile signet ring style with lots go gold all around and underneath the stone.

Signet rings can be seen going back thousands of years, even beyond the Roman civilisation. Often used to show belonging to a community, to demonstrate family connection or as a show of status. Their popularity continues to this day in many forms.

Overall a sublime piece of historical jewellery that is as mesmerising today as it was over 130 years ago.
