    • A superb, rare French late-Victorian era signet ring made in Nancy. Intricate engraving of the Roman God Mars on a thick carnelian plaque. Based on the neo-attic helmet of this warrior, this intaglio is likely to depicts the ancient Roman ‘God of War’, Mars (Ares in ancient Greek mythology). The intaglio is set in a typically French 19th century mount, constructed with six parallel gold bands all the way around.

      ‘Weevil’ hallmark in oval shape indicates French .750 gold (18K) (source: World Hallmarks - Vol I by Hallmark Research Institute)

      UK size R, US size 8.5, 3.01g 18K gold

      The ring is in excellent condition and the gold patina is incredibly silky!
