Edwardian Shielded Carnelian Signet

A charming piece of English Edwardian era jewellery made in 1907 by William Lewis in Birmingham.

The ring is crafted in 18K gold, the bezel taking the form of a shield. In the centre rests an oval carnelian plaque which (amazingly!) has not yet been engraved with a monogram or family crest.

The gold has an incredibly silky texture on the finger arising from a century of wear and is a true delight to wear!

The shield bezel measures 14mm x 11mm, whilst the oval carnelian measures 8mm x 5mm. The band measures 4mm wide at the back of the shank.
