Large Vintage Crest Signet Ring
Large Vintage Crest Signet Ring
This smooth gold ring summons all the power of thousands of years of tradition within the history of the signet ring. Since at least 1400 BCE, signet or seal rings have been tools (serving as signature or seal) as much as they have been markers of status, and the weight and craftsmanship of a sturdy engraved piece will make you feel that immediately.
Good vintage condition with moderate wear in line with previous heavy use, including uneven shoulders from past resizing, wear to gold and engraving, and loss of maker's mark. Crest appears to be for Robertson (among others) family with three wolves' heads, motto reads "Libertas" (freedom or liberty) in reverse.
