This ring had a previous life in France.

The story: signet rings take their roots in Antiquity, where they were used by the nobility as a means of signing official documents with their name or emblem in a wax seal. Initially in intaglio or carved stone, they gradually changed to become all gold or set with gemstones, and present the initials of their owners or the family coat of arms. Their design then became more statutory and aesthetic than functional. This “dome” style piece set with diamonds on the head is therefore the most decorative version of the original signet style.
