Gold Intaglio Signet Ring

A wonderfully crafted, heavy gold signet ring featuring an intaglio carving of a greyhound dog running below the wide-spread boughs of an oak tree. Rings such as this are often heavy in symbolism, representing family lines, virtues and shared values and this is no exception! Oak trees in jewelry can represent strength, wisdom, nobility and longevity. The greyhound dog represents loyalty, faithfulness and -again- nobility. While more details about the provenance and history of the ring is unknown, these are fine qualities that I’m certain a new owner will appreciate and embody.
