Antique Victorian Bloodstone Intaglio Signet Ring in 9 Carat Gold

A handsome and characterful Victorian signet ring, rich in heritage and craftsmanship. A timeless ring with the perfect motto. 

Created in 9 carat gold, the ring is set with a distinctive shield shaped intaglio, finely carved with a family crest and the Latin motto “Esto Quod Esse Videris.” This translates to “Be what you seem to be,” a phrase associated with integrity and authenticity. One that rings true as much today as it did over the 130 years ago.

The engraving is deep and beautifully crisp, giving the piece a strong sense of quality and presence. The intaglio is cut in the traditional manner, designed to function as a seal while also serving as a striking decorative element.

The warm gold setting complements the engraved panel perfectly, creating a ring that feels both substantial and refined on the hand. A timeless Victorian signet ring, ideal for collectors of beautiful antique jewellery or intaglios A. piece that carries both meaning and craftsmanship in equal amounts.
