Vintage Chunky Hematite Roman Warrior Intaglio Signet Ring, 9ct Yellow Gold, size W1/2 or 11.5
Vintage Chunky Hematite Roman Warrior Intaglio Signet Ring, 9ct Yellow Gold, size W1/2 or 11.5
Roman Warrior Intaglios are just so iconic, those amazing helmets and the varying profiles of the men depicted. This hematite face is carved with a Roman bearing very Roman features of the "Roman Nose". That prominent bridge in a profile of the aquiline nose (called such as it came from the latin for Eagle) was deemed superior in Victorian times - as it suggested nobility of breeding. This intaglio is in wonderful condition and the warrior is wonderfully clear. It is housed in a super chunky vintage 9ct gold ring that echoes the octagonal shape of the stone. Bearing the "9ct" hallmark, this ring was made pre-1973 - and is looking fabulous for its age - the stone particularly.

FAQ
Sizing
What do we mean when we say a ring is "sizeable"? Well, most standard rings can be made bigger or smaller by up to three letter sizes. If we say the item is "moderately sizeable", this usually means about 1 size, and if we say it is "not sizeable" or that "sizing is not recommended" it will be due to the construction - it could be age related, pattern related, have enamel etc.
We can happily help with sizing of rings, so please do get it touch if we can give you a quote.
