Jade is one of the most desirable gemstones, especially in China. It is believed here that jade brings health, success and a long life in harmony with nature - which is why jade is often weighed up with gold. A life without a piece of jade jewelry is still unthinkable in large parts of the Chinese population today. Jade is said to convey a sense of balance in life and bring harmony, beauty and happiness to the wearer's consciousness. This signet ring, created around 1970, holds such a jade. A cushion-shaped panel of light green nephrite jade adorns the large ring face and is held by a solid gold bar with broad shoulders. The jade is engraved with the coat of arms of the von Brabeck family. The family owned many manors in various branches, such as the House of Brabeck (von Brabeck zu Brabeck), the House of Wittringen (von Brabeck zu Brabeck), the House of Letmathe (von Brabeck zu Letmathe), the House of Hemer (von Brabeck zu Letmathe and Hemer) and Söder Castle (von Brabeck zu Söder). Today, the three wolfs from their coat of arms also adorn the town coats of arms of Bottrop and Hemer, among others, in the family's former sphere of influence. The very well-preserved ring came to us here in Berlin and its hallmark reveals that it was made in the workshop of Adolf Merath in Ulm.
