The perfect antique seal signet ring crafted in solid, heavy, 18 carat gold. Its age has given it gorgeous layer of patina and it melts into the finger.
Rings of this quality and in this condition are becoming harder and harder for me to source.
‘ANIMO ET FIDE’ a Latin phrase which translates to ‘Courageous and Faithful’
Perched above the scrolled phrase is what looks to be a deeply engraved hunting dog, mid stride. I’m not sure I can think of a more courageous or faithful creature than a hound although my tiny chihuahua is pretty courageous, even when she shouldn’t be!
The piece has been resized in the past and is perfect for a pinky or small ring finger but can be sized up or down by any good jeweller.

All of my pieces are at the very least pre-loved and most of them are vintage or antique. This item is not brand new and as such, will not look brand new. Please expect signs of wear to include kinks in links, surface wear to gold, scuffs to stones and accept this as part and parcel of buying second hand jewellery. I will be as clear as I can with item descriptions and condition statement and aim to make sure you are aware of any potential defects before you buy.
