Era 1930s–1940s (Art Deco → Early Retro Transitional Period) The warm tone of 8K rose gold combined with streamlined Deco geometry reflects late-Deco European craftsmanship moving into early Retro design. Description A striking vintage Art Deco signet ring set with a finely carved shield-shaped carnelian intaglio. The gemstone depicts the profile of a classical soldier wearing a feathered helmet. The carving is detailed and expressive — the flowing beard and sweeping plumes are rendered with lifelike precision, giving this piece an elegant sense of movement. The warm rose hue of the 8K gold setting enhances the rich red of the carnelian. Strong linear shoulders with three stepped grooves on each side emphasize the ring’s bold geometric Art Deco character. Lightweight yet substantial, it is a refined and historically evocative piece, suitable as a collector’s signet, daily wear ring, or an eye-catching statement piece.
