Victorian 18ct Gold Signet Ring set with a Carnelian with Tree Trunk Intaglio

945U
Rare Find
Written by Olly Gerrish

This heavy gage 18ct gold signet ring is a strong architectural design with ornate incised shoulders. It was made in London in 1888. In the centre is a carnelian that has been engraved with a tree trunk and the ribbon motto below reads “Fortem posce Animum” which literally means “Seek the strength of the mind” or “The courage to challenge life”. A meaningful and dramatic signet ring.

Ollys Pick

This is a great example of an 18ct gold Victorian signet ring with a wonderful meaning.
