Victorian 14KY gold and bloodstone signet style ring

Description : Traditionally called a 'gentleman's ring' the signet style ring was designed to place your signature in wax on paper documents. This is a unique piece because of its decorative details and asymmetry. The letters carved into the bloodstone gemstone agate are unintelligable until a mirror or reverse camera angle shines upon it, and the initials clearly are 'DFB' in an Old English font, very difficult to carve.The bloodstone agate, an alternative to aquamarine for March's birthstone is generally a very dark green, with red flecks that were likened to the blood of Christ. The shield shape of the gem is also very unusual, re-iterating the familial connection within a single piece of jewelry. Size 5
