Description

This fine gold ring combines craftsmanship with historical significance. A deep green heliotrope is set in the center of the ring and engraved with a family coat of arms. The intaglio, engraved in great detail, shows a bundle of ears of corn in a split shield and a cat of prey on its back. The heraldic animal is repeated in the crest. The exact provenance of the coat of arms has yet to be determined. The slender 14-karat gold ring band sets the gemstone in a simple but effective bezel setting, which draws the eye to the coat of arms and emphasizes the character of a classic signet ring. The ring shoulders are set in a stepped design in the Art Deco style. Equally wearable by men and women, the ring is a statement of classic taste!

A signet ring was already an important symbol in ancient times and, in addition to its function as a representative object, was also used to seal documents. In almost all eras, these rings were reserved exclusively for the upper classes. Above all, these pieces of jewelry were charged with content and were often a sign of noble origin and social influence.
