This handsome vintage signet ring is set with a richly hued carnelian intaglio, finely engraved with the powerful image of a griffin. The griffin is the legendary creature symbolising strength, courage, and protection. Its form and design carry a strong influence from the Victorian era, when classical intaglios and mythological motifs were celebrated as symbols of learning, taste, and refinement.

The boldness of the carnelian paired with the timeless simplicity of the setting makes this a piece that feels both historic and enduring. The 9 carat gold signet ring setting I wonderfully heavy making it tactile on the hand. It has that wonderful balance of strength and elegance that ensures it can be worn just as beautifully today as it would have been over a century ago.

Condition note:
The carnelian intaglio has unfortunately suffered some damage over time, which is visible on inspection. Despite this, the ring remains wearable and full of character. With care and love, it will continue to be a striking piece of jewellery. In recognition of the damage, we are pleased to offer it at a very attractive price, making this a wonderful opportunity to own a distinctive vintage signet without the usual premium.

A ring that carries with it myth, history, and timeless style; offered here with a story to tell and a price to match.
