About the Item

circa 1850s – 1860s This fine mid-19th century antique signet ring is crafted in gold with a silver bezel. The ring is centered with a superbly engraved garnet intaglio depicting a noble coat of arms: a shield bearing three rose heads and three tulips, surmounted by a crowned plumed helmet. Above stands a knight holding what appears to be three feathers. The shoulders are embellished with gold Herakles knot motifs, a classical symbol associated with strength and eternity. The dark red garnet intaglio is mounted in silver over gold. The intaglio measures 14 x 10 mm (4/8 x 3/8 in.) Weight is 7.93 grams The ring is currently a size 6 (17 mm) and, as it is now, makes an excellent men’s pinky ring. It could also be sized up if desired.
