A superb vintage 9ct yellow gold signet ring, dating to c.1980, featuring a finely engraved intaglio of a griffin’s head set upon a regal crown. The motif is bold and characterful, symbolising strength and guardianship, with a distinctly heraldic feel.
The engraving is crisp and well defined, standing out beautifully against the polished surface of the signet. The shoulders and setting are nicely chased, adding an extra level of detail and craftsmanship that elevates the piece beyond the ordinary.
A particularly attractive and wearable ring, with a good weight and presence on the hand. Ideal as a statement piece or for those drawn to heraldic and symbolic jewellery.
Presented in excellent vintage condition, with light wear consistent with age.
