Victorian 15ct Gold Signet Ring with Intaglio of a Rearing Cat

524R
Rare Find
Written by Olly Gerrish

An unusual 15ct gold signet ring that was made in Birmingham in 1866. It has been set with a carnelian that has been engraved with a rearing cat. It is a pun on “Sans Peur” that literally means “Without Fear” The shoulders have a cut out Gothick trefoil motif with black enamel detail. This ring would certainly attract a lot of interest when worn

Ollys Pick
