Victorian Bloodstone Signet Ring “Omne Bonum Superne” in 9 Carat Rose Gold

A jewel steeped in heritage, this Victorian signet ring is a magnificent example of 19th century. Created in 9 carat rose gold, the ring is set with a beautifully polished bloodstone panel a gemstone long cherished for its protective qualities and its deep, natural beauty. On to this has been hand engraved with a family crest and the Latin motto “Omne Bonum Superne”, translating as “All good things come from above.”

During the Victorian era, such signet rings were more than ornaments they were emblems of family lineage. Carefully carved intaglios like this one served as personal seals, pressed into wax to authenticate documents and correspondence. The inclusion of a motto elevated them further, turning each into a deeply personal statement of belief and identity. Here, Omne Bonum Superne is both a declaration of faith and a reflection of Victorian values: trust in providence, virtue, and the guidance of higher powers.

As wearable today as it was over 140 years ago, this ring is more than a piece of jewellery; it is a piece of living history. Whether worn as a distinguished heirloom, a meaningful talisman, or a collector’s treasure, it carries with it the dignity and spirit of the Victorian age
