A refined early 20th-century signet ring crafted in solid 18 carat yellow gold, set with an octagonal carnelian intaglio. The richly coloured carnelian is engraved with a classical emblematic motif, typical of revival intaglios inspired by ancient Roman and Greco traditions popular during the late Victorian and Edwardian periods.

The ring features a substantial, well-balanced signet form with gently tapering shoulders and a smooth, comfortable shank. Its restrained design and engraved stone make it suitable both as a traditional signet and as a characterful antique ring with strong period appeal.
