Victorian 18ct Gold Signet Ring set with a Bloodstone with Dolphin Intaglio

44T
Written by Olly Gerrish

This is a great looking 18ct gold signet ring that was made in London circa 1880. It has been set with a bloodstone, so called because of the red flecks of hematite within. This example is particularly rich in red speckling. The beautifully carved carved intaglio is a stylised heraldic dolphin. Dolphins have always been a symbol of luck and protection especially at sea where they are known to have saved drowning ships and people.
