A distinctive antique signet ring dating the Edwardian era. Crafted in warm 9ct rose gold and engraved to the face with a finely detailed griffin intaglio. The substantial shield-shaped head provides a clean backdrop for the engraving, allowing the heraldic creature to stand out clearly against the polished gold.
The griffin has a long history in heraldry, traditionally associated with qualities such as strength and vigilance.
Presented in very good antique condition with light age-related surface wear consistent with its age. The ring has a pleasing 4.16 gram weight, tapering comfortably from its broad signet face to a 3.5mm band at the reverse.
