{"product_id":"georgian-carnelian-signet-ring","title":"Georgian Carnelian Signet Ring","description":"\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eA superb Georgian-era gentleman’s signet ring, dating from around 1830. At its centre sits an octagonal flat-cut carnelian, bezel-set within a hollow 9K gold mount—a construction method typical of the period.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eSignet rings of this kind were traditionally engraved with a coat of arms or family crest and used to seal letters and legal documents. Remarkably, this carnelian has survived nearly 200 years without an engraving, making it a rare example of an untouched Georgian signet ring.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eThe exterior features intricate repoussé floral work, a technique in which gold is hammered from the reverse side to create a design in low relief. The ring’s broad shoulders taper toward the back, where a French control mark confirms its status as imported 9K gold.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"ul1\"\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"li1\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003eCarnelian: 12mm x 11mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"li1\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003eRing size: UK Z \/ US 12.5 (a notably large size)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"li1\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003eWeight: 7.68 grams\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"li1\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003eGold purity: 9K, with French import mark\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eDespite its age, this ring remains in good and very wearable condition, a testament to its fine craftsmanship.
