Antique 'Augusta' Citrine Intaglio Signet Ring

This enchanting antique ring dates to the Georgian era, created in the classic signet style and set with a beautifully warm citrine intaglio. The stone itself is likely older than the mount, suggesting that it was cherished and reset during the period.

The intaglio is round in shape and exquisitely engraved with the word “Augusta”, presented on a circular ribbon tied delicately at the bottom. At the centre of the ribbon sits a single, finely carved flower with its stem, a charming and meaningful detail.

“Augusta” - A Latin name meaning majestic, venerable, or worthy of honour. It was historically used as a title of high esteem, often given to empresses or noblewomen. In personal seals and intaglios, the name conveyed dignity, reverence, and status. The ribbon, in classical symbolism, a tied ribbon often represents unity and loyalty a binding of affection or lineage. Finally the flower, a single bloom, is traditionally associated with purity of sentiment and the beauty of the individual it represents. Together with the inscription, it may have honoured a beloved woman named Augusta, or symbolised admiration for someone held in exceptionally high regard.

The soft golden glow of the citrine paired with the age worn warmth of the setting gives this ring a truly timeless presence. Its elegance and historical layering make it a captivating antique for collectors of intaglios, sentimental jewellery, or Georgian era treasures.
