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. 

While we have not determined the family associated with this charge, we couldn't resist how meaningful it is. The lion rampant has long-held associations with strength, bravery, loyalty, and courage.

Very good vintage condition with wear in line with previous use, including loss of detail to light engraving of lion. c1973. Originally manufactured in the UK.
