Description from the seller

Precious and rare solid silver ring, with a rare episcopal or cardinal heraldic seal finely hand-engraved. Symbol of ecclesiastical authority and of centuries-old history. The design reproduces with great detail the heraldic elements typical of the ecclesiastical episcopal - cardinal tradition. One can note the episcopal or cardinal hat, at the center of the shield there appear to be three bees. The bees are a synonym for industriousness and hard work, virtues dear to the Church and to religious orders.
Wisdom and discipline, qualities attributed to the community of bees, an example of harmony and dedication.
Charity and service, since the bee produces honey and wax, elements linked to Christian liturgy (in particular the wax of candles used in celebrations). Fascinating if you’re looking for a rare object. These qualities make it not only a precious object, but a true fragment of cultural heritage.
Made in solid silver, the ring features a patina and craftmanship that attest to its authenticity and its lived history. A true treasure for collectors, lovers of sacred art, antiques, or for those who wish to wear a jewel with strong symbolic value and great historical testimony.
A rare item regularly tested with professional silver acid.
Fast and trackable shipping with DHL express courier.
