Early 19th Century Carnelian Signet Ring

Early 19th century carnelian signet ring in 18 karat gold. The matrix is carved intricately in relief and is as strong as the day the stone was cut. A beautiful hippocampus sits among laurels atop a large shield. Ready to wear and make impressions (both upon onlookers and in wax on those special correspondences). Ring size approximately size 5.
