18kt Gold Hematite Coat of Arms Signet Ring, Sheffield 1990

£1,650.00

A fine 18kt yellow gold signet ring, set with an oval hematite intaglio engraved with a heraldic coat of arms, depicting a hand and arm holding a bird. In heraldry, the hand and arm symbolise strength, faith, and loyalty, while the bird—often interpreted as a falcon or eagle—represents noble spirit, ambition, victory, and vigilance.

The ring’s shoulders are decorated with elegant scrolling motifs, harmonising with the heraldic theme. The hematite displays a deep grey hue with subtle reddish undertones, characteristic of high-quality stones.

Fully hallmarked for Sheffield, 1990, including the maker’s mark, 18kt gold standard mark, and city assay mark.
