This Victorian intaglio ring is a gorgeous jewel of wonderful history! We adore the defined and detailed gothic font intaglio. A fabulous addition to any jewellery lover‘s collection.

The intaglio here has been hand engraved into a chalcedony with the letter J. A perfect Victorian style font, the letter is sublet against the soft white hue. Catching the light as it is worn.

The ring itself is created from 9 carat gold. A simple band with flowing formed shoulders means all attention is on the intaglio at the centre. This is a hollow setting, not unusual to find and there is a little damage inside the band, however it is very comfortable to wear and enjoy!

Signet rings can be seen going back thousands of years, even beyond the Roman civilisation. Often used to show belonging to a community, to demonstrate family connection or as a show of status. Their popularity continues to this day in many forms.

Overall a sublime piece of historical jewellery which would have been worn by an individual of good standing during the Victorian era onwards. This would be the perfect addition to any jewellery lovers collection.
