1939 Vintage 9ct Gold Carnelian Jasper Solitaire Gold Signet Ring

1920 - 1940
For Sale by Corvidae Antique
Description

A lovely old gold ring set with a hand-cut dark red stone, likely red jasper or carnelian, framed with a delicate scrolling foliate design. A little bent and bruised but full of character - perhaps suitably for a piece dating from the year the Second World War broke out!

SIZE: K (UK), 5 and a quarter (US). The stone measures 1.3 x 1.1cm and the band is approximately 3mm at the back.

WEIGHT: 2.5g.

MATERIALS: Nine-carat (375) gold.

HALLMARKS/STAMPS: Hallmarked for nine-carat gold, Birmingham 1939, with an illegible sponsor's mark. The hallmark is an unusual one in that the marks are stamped into the back of the face of the ring rather than on the shank, possibly because it seems to be of hollow construction.

CONDITION: When examined closely the ring has a small tear on one edge and various dents and pockmarks, all unseen from the front. There is a dark line at the back where it has likely been resized at some time. The piece is in good solid condition, with the stone firmly set. The engraved design around the stone is quite worn.

ERA: 1939.

Declaration

This 1940 Art Deco gentleman's library ring takes the form of a signet ring set with a polished oval red carnelian gemstone in a bezel setting. The piece is fashioned from nine-carat yellow gold with a red and gold colour scheme, and displays a delicate scrolling foliate design engraved onto the shoulders, along with dents, pockmarks, wear to the engraving, and a dark resizing line at the back of the band. The stone measures 1.3 x 1.1cm and the band is approximately 3mm at the back, with a weight of 2.5g. The ring sits within a rectangular antique presentation box lined with black velvet and cream silk, featuring a gold-tooled inscription on the interior lid and a hinged exterior covered in patterned paper. It functions as a wearable piece of jewellery for personal adornment, suitable for daily wear or collection display in a domestic setting.

FAQs

A carnelian signet ring is a classic piece of jewellery featuring an oval or rectangular carnelian gemstone mounted on a precious metal band, historically used for stamping wax seals or worn as a decorative emblem.

Vintage British signet rings are typically crafted from 9ct or 18ct yellow gold and often set with hardstones such as carnelian, bloodstone, jasper, or onyx.

Authentic British gold rings feature official assay office hallmarks stamped inside the band, which identify the gold purity, makers mark, assay office, and year of manufacture.

A vintage gold signet ring can be worn individually on the pinky or index finger as a understated statement piece, or paired alongside simple gold bands.

Clean the gold setting with warm water, mild soap, and a soft brush, avoiding ultrasonic cleaners and harsh chemicals that could damage the carnelian surface.
