Antique 18ct Gold Bloodstone Intaglio Crest Signet Ring
Antique 18ct Gold Bloodstone Intaglio Crest Signet Ring
This exquisite antique 18ct gold signet ring features a finely carved bloodstone agate with a distinguished heraldic crest. The crest depicts a powerful arm and hand holding a branch with three leaves, symbolizing strength, peace, and growth.
The deep green hue of the bloodstone beautifully complements the warm, rich tone of the gold, creating a striking contrast that enhances the intricate detailing of the intaglio.
What's interesting on this piece, is that the date letter is also stamped on the outside of the band!
