Description
This amazing Vintage Unicorn Intaglio Signet Ring with Wax Seal Impression is a distinctive 9ct yellow gold signet ring featuring a beautifully engraved unicorn intaglio. The unicorn is finely carved in reverse into the oval face of the ring, allowing the design to appear correctly orientated and in relief when pressed into sealing wax. The ring is accompanied by its wax seal impression, wonderfully demonstrating the detail of the engraving and the traditional purpose for which intaglio signet rings were created. The substantial tapered shoulders flow seamlessly into the oval face, giving the ring a strong yet elegant profile. The unicorn has a long and fascinating history in heraldry, particularly in Scotland, where it has been a royal symbol for centuries and traditionally represents strength, courage and purity. The ring weighs 5.3g and can be resized. Please contact us if you would like to know more about this lovely ring or visit us at Saddingtons Jewellery, Mayfair.
