Vintage 10K Gold Bloodstone Signet Ring · Shield Ring · Size 9.75

A handsome vintage 10K yellow gold signet ring featuring a shield-shaped bloodstone set into a classic tapered gold setting.
 
The bloodstone has a rich, deep forest-green colour with small contrasting reddish flecks characteristic of this distinctive variety of chalcedony. Cut specifically to follow the broad shield-shaped face of the ring, the stone sits neatly within the gold setting and gives the piece a strong, traditional signet appearance.
 
The substantial face measures approximately 13.95mm x 13.15mm, tapering through the shoulders into a comfortable gold band. The simple setting keeps the bloodstone as the focal point while giving the ring a timeless style that works equally well worn as a traditional signet or statement ring.
 
Bloodstone has been used in signet and seal rings for centuries and was particularly favoured for men's jewellery because of its deep colour, durability and distinctive red markings.
 
Crafted in 10K yellow gold, the ring weighs approximately 3.6 grams and is currently a size 9.75.
