Signet rings with heraldic coats of arms are an exciting area of collecting, especially when they are dated rings whose design deviates from the usual designs. This ring, which came to us here in Berlin, is such a case. First of all, the colouring of its coat of arms is surprising. Here, the engraver has used an onyx with a black layer and a white layer underneath to carve the coat of arms, which is why the coat of arms appears impressively in white against a black surface. The shield itself shows an alternating crenellated bar with red inlay against a silver background. Two fierce men standing on pedestals hold the shield, and another fierce man forms the crest between eagle wings. The lodestone is set in high-carat gold. The actual ring setting is made of 14-carat gold. What is also beautiful here is that the ring band is engraved and dated on the inside: ‘Meyer 1872’. A truly unusual piece of jewellery with more than 150 years of history.
