{"product_id":"antique-palm-tree-signet-ring","title":"Antique Palm Tree Signet Ring","description":"\u003cp class=\"p1\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eA cool gold family crest intaglio signet ring. It was crafted in 21K gold and dates to the early 20th century. The oval bezel is intricately engraved with a crest depicting a palm tree. The rope\/twisted fabric underneath the palm tree is known as a ‘torse’ and it indicates that this palm tree represents a heraldic crest, not just a regular palm tree decorated onto the ring. The ‘crest’ motif forms the uppermost part of a family coat of arms, and it was common to show the family crest alone on smaller pieces of jewellery.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eAccording to Fairbairn’s book of crests, several families employ a palm tree on their crest; namely the Bellasis, Blagrove, Cairns, Dyxton and Fleming families. However, the most notable coat of arms with a palm tree in the crest belonged to Arthur James Balfour of Whittingehame who was Prime Minister of the UK between 1902 and 1905, and later became the 1st Earl of Balfour.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eUK size O 1\/2, US size 7.5\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe ring weighs 10.19 grams of solid 21K gold.
