Ancient Ring - SKU 1377

Throughout history, signet rings such as this were used to seal letters with a distinguishing mark set in wax as the equivalent of a signature. This ancient men’s signet ring is a fine example, featuring an intaglio (engraving) of perhaps a Roman soldier.

This special piece is nicely framed by the color, shine and texture of the 24-karat yellow gold setting, which contrasts beautifully with the bright and pitted surface of the stone. All told, this signet ring is a wonderful treasure for both the jewelry lover and the gem collector.
