This unique piece had a previous life in Italy.

The story: Seal rings, also called signet rings, date back to ancient Egypt, and have had various shapes over time, from Ancient Rome to medieval France or Edwardian England. Initially intended to sign documents and indicate a high social rank, they gradually became a jewel of style for both men and women, and their initially engraved face was gradually refined, as is the case here with a simple glittering pavement.
