A deeply symbolic Edwardian intaglio ring, created in 18 carat gold and set with an oval carnelian, finely engraved with the Baha’i ring-stone symbol. The rich, warm orange red hue of the carnelian – long cherished for its associations with vitality, courage, and spiritual protection pairs beautifully with the simplicity of the gold mount.
The engraving depicts the sacred Baha’i ring stone symbol, one of the most meaningful emblems within the Baha’i Faith. Its design features three horizontal lines, representing God (top) the Manifestations of God (middle), and humanity( bottom). A vertical line connects these three realms, symbolising the bond between the divine and humankind through the Manifestations. Flanking the symbol, two five-pointed stars represent the Twin Manifestations of the Baha’i Faith: the Báb and Bahá’u’lláh.
Often worn as a seal or signet, rings bearing this symbol were more than decorative, they were intimate expressions of faith and identity, connecting their wearer to profound spiritual principles. This ring is a rare survival from the early 20th century, blending exquisite craftsmanship with rich cultural and religious meaning.
