Description
This description was automatically translated from German. If you have any questions about this piece of jewellery, we will be happy to help!
We see the coat of arms of a bourgeois family in an agate whose different colored layers have been cut in such a way that a bluish-grey layer lies over a black background. Engraved into the hardstone, it appears as a cameo cut in concave bas-relief. The shield is slanted and is crowned by a helmet with a horse's head as a crest. The coat of arms itself shows three shamrocks on silver tinging. The coat of arms is set in 14-karat gold, with a simple frame holding the stone and a decoratively designed ring band with shoulder beads leading to the ring face. We discovered the ring on Lake Constance; it was created in Germany in the middle of the 20th century.

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.
