Platinum Signet Ring with Sapphire Intaglio of a Crest

402X
160 Admirers Rare Find
Written by Olly Gerrish

A rare heavy gauge platinum ring that has been rub over set with a sapphire carved intaglio of a shield shaped crest with an Earl’s  coronet above and a lion rampant and Tudor rose. The lion traditionally symbolises courage, nobility, royalty, strength, stateliness and valour, because historically the lion has been regarded as the “king of beasts”. The art of intaglio cutting dates to as early as the 14th century BC and was practiced by ancient civilisations in Mesopotamia, Assyria, Phoenicia and later in Greece and Rome. It is a highly skilled art and it is especially rare to find sapphire intaglios.

This ring comes with a gemmological certificate that certifies that the sapphire is a natural unheated stone, Sri Lankan (Ceylon) origin and has an approximate weight of 3.30 carats.

A rare and very English ring.
