This superb Vintage intaglio ring is a luxurious and gorgeous jewel of rich gold! We adore the defined and detailed intaglio. A fabulous addition to any jewellery lover‘s collection.
The intaglio here has been hand engraved into a naturally banded sardonyx. The top lighter white layer has bee engraved down to reveal the deeper red mineral. The amazing and unusual image is of a hand holding a latter or note. It‘s simple but has so much impact; a miniature work of art!
The ring itself is created from 9 carat yellow gold and is as bold as the centre stone. The setting is the timeless signet ring style which is always ever so sort after. This is also a lovely satisfying rounded square shape. Signet rings can be seen going back thousands of years, even beyond the Roman civilisation. Often used to show belonging to a community, to demonstrate family connection or as a show of status. Their popularity continues to this day in many forms.
Overall a sublime piece of historical jewellery which would be a fabulous addition to any jewellery lover‘s collection.
