A ring of presence this antique signet ring is a tactile piece of heraldic history which is rich in symbolism and craftsmanship. Created in 9 carat yellow gold, it bears an ornately engraved family crest: a stag and crown above the Latin motto “Virtute non verbis” — “By courage, not words.”

Such rings were more than jewellery in the 19th and early 20th centuries; they were emblems of identity and  passed through generations as marks of lineage and belief. The stag, a symbol of strength, endurance, and noble character, paired with the crown of sovereignty, speaks of leadership and integrity. Ideals echoed by the motto’s timeless message of deeds over words.

Beautifully tactile and weighty in the hand, this signet ring carries all the character of its age. Its detailed engraving, still crisp and expressive, makes it not only a piece of wearable art but also a meaningful link to the traditions and ideals of the past.
