Vintage Signet Ring in 9 carat Gold; Circa 1956

A classic signet ring with a timeless feel, this mid century piece dates to the 1950s and is crafted in rich 9 carat yellow gold. Set with an oval sardonyx stone, its is beautifully layered in tones of light rusty red below and soft white above.

The surface of the stone has been intricately carved as an intaglio, depicting a heraldic arm holding a cross or sword; a symbol long associated with strength and honour. Such designs often represented family crests or personal emblems, chosen to convey identity and virtue.

The sardonyx, prized since antiquity for its fine colour banding and suitability for engraving, gives this piece depth and contrast. Its smooth polish and soften fair tone perfectly complement the warmth of the gold.

Elegant, symbolic, and timeless. This ring embodies the enduring appeal of the signet ring; a piece that feels both personal and powerful.
