Centred with a classic oval signet profile this 9 carat gold ring has so much heritage and a timeless appeal. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003eSet into the gold is a rich oval of lapis lazuli, its deep blue surface providing a beautiful backdrop for the engraving. The stone has been carved with a sheaf of harvested wheat, accompanied by the Latin motto ‘NON VI SED VIRTUTE’, meaning ‘Not by force, but by virtue.’\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003eAlthough the ring is only around 36 years old, its design feels rooted in a much older tradition. The oval stone, heraldic engraving and Latin motto are reminiscent of the centuries old language of signet rings, where jewellery was used to carry so much more than the sum of its parts. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDETAILS:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eERA\u003c\/strong\u003e: Vintage - 1990\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHALLMARKS\u003c\/strong\u003e: Partial Hallmarks for 9 carat gold \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFINGER SIZE:\u003c\/strong\u003e K (UK\/AU) 5.25 (US)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWEIGHT\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3.5 grams approximately.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCONDITION:\u003c\/strong\u003e This is in lovely antique condition with a fine patina across the gold as well as as softening of the crisp details of the intaglio. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003ePlease note the antique box is for display only \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIf you have any questions about this or any other piece please do not hesitate to ask \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e-Please feel free to take a look at all photographs and condition before committing to buy.
