This vintage ring originates from the mid-20th century and takes inspiration from the Art Deco style, presenting a rectangular black onyx plaque mounted in nine-carat gold. A detailed gold crab motif for the Cancer zodiac sign rests on top of the dark stone, complemented by stepped shoulders and engraved detail on the precious metal band. The gold and black colour scheme creates a high-contrast finish, while light surface wear shows normal signs of age on the precious metal components. The face of the ring measures 1 x 1.3 cm with a UK size O and a US size 7.5, weighing 2.1 g. It functions as a personal jewellery piece worn on the hand.

FAQs

Astrological jewellery gained widespread popularity during the mid-20th century, combining personal identity with fine craftsmanship. Rings featuring zodiac symbols, such as Cancer the crab, were frequently fashioned with carved or applied gold motifs set against dark gemstones like onyx.

These rings typically feature solid yellow gold, ranging from 9ct to 18ct purity, paired with flat or cabochon-cut black onyx. The gold mountings often showcase textured engraving or geometric stepped shoulders characteristic of Art Deco and mid-century design.

Authentic pieces generally display official British hallmarks on the interior of the band indicating gold fineness and maker marks. Genuine onyx exhibits a smooth, cold feel with consistent deep black colouration without surface acrylic coatings.

A gold and onyx signet ring serves as a statement everyday accessory that can be worn alone on the pinky or index finger. It pairs seamlessly with both modern tailoring and relaxed casualwear, contrasting well against silver or yellow gold bands.

Clean the ring using warm water, mild dish soap, and a soft-bristled brush around the gold setting. Avoid harsh chemical cleaners or ultrasonic baths, as gemstone settings and applied motifs can be sensitive to thermal and mechanical shock.
