Carnelian has been used in jewellery for thousands of years. It was already known to the Etruscans as a gemstone, and the Romans also liked to use it for cameos, because in addition to its warm red color, it has the advantage of being easy to engrave, making it ideal for making intaglios. This ring also features a dark carnelian, cut into an octagonal shape and polished. The stone is presented in a golden setting in the contemporary taste of the 1930s, which articulates the details with acanthus leaves. Thanks to its classic design, the ring can be worn by both men and women. It is suitable for engraving a coat of arms. The hallmarks on the inside of the ring show that it comes from the range of Berlin jeweler Wilhelm Müller. The ring also spent its subsequent history in Berlin, as it came to us here in Berlin. The ring is in very good condition.

Ancient people used a seal on all the occasions on which we sign our name or show our ID today. The seal impression was used to authenticate letters and documents, to seal goods, stocks, chests or doors. A signet ring was therefore an indispensable utensil for wealthy citizens and at the same time a status symbol.
