AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Yellow gold seal ring, the ring is set with an onyx. The onyx features a heraldic image which is engraved in intaglio. A signet ring is a ring that on its back carries an engraving. This is applied in the precious metal of the ring or in a stone set in the ring. The engraving can be used to make an impression in sealing wax, in order to seal a document (or other item) with a wax seal. Traditionally (and functionally) the engraving is applied in mirror image. The deeply incised image in a gemstone is called intaglio. If the image is not set in a stone but into the metal, this is called a gravure.

Size of the centerpiece: approx. 16.7 mm.
Assay mark: 585, hallmark
Master mark: unknown

Quality: gemstones are often treated to improve color or clarity. The gemstone may be synthetic. This has not been examined for this specific object. Wear and usage marks are in keeping with age and use. For your own impression, see photos.

Auction number: S-189783
