Drop A Hint

A classic and substantial French chevalière signet ring dating to around 1900, crafted in solid 18K gold and notable for its weight and scale. This is a traditional gentleman’s signet of the Belle Époque period, designed to be worn daily as both a personal emblem and a mark of status.The oval face is engraved with a heraldic shield bearing a spade motif. The diagonal line engraving across the field indicates green (vert) in heraldic convention, a long-established system used to denote colour in engraved arms. The spade itself is a charge historically associated with labour, land, resolve, and practical authority, and may allude to agriculture, engineering, or a family name or occupation now lost to time. Such signets were commonly used to seal correspondence, authenticate documents, or quietly assert lineage and identity.The ring has excellent presence on the hand, weighing a substantial 16.28 grams, with a broad oval face measuring approximately 18 × 14 mm. The shoulders are smoothly modelled and taper into a solid, comfortable hoop. It is fitted with the French owl control mark, confirming a minimum fineness of 18K gold, consistent with late 19th to early 20th century French manufacture.The ring is a UK size S 1/2 (US size 9.2) and remains in very good condition, with only light surface wear commensurate with age and use. A fine example of a true antique chevalière; confident, timeless, and unmistakably French.
