19th c. Intaglio Ring

$1,800.00

With a little luck great things can happen, but the right accessories might just do the trick too. This intaglio ring is a carved bloodstone agate, a unique hardstone with deep green hue and bright red flecks. In the center is a griffin – a mythological creature that combines the eagle, the king of birds, with the lion, the king of beasts. Surrounding the griffin it is carved with a Latin inscription that roughly translates to “With the help of God may the industry flourish”. With all that power in one ring, its bound to bring good things. Made in warm 18 karat yellow gold in the later 19th century.

This ring is in excellent antique condition. Presently a size 8 and can be resized.
