1880s Victorian Sardonyx ‘CC’ Initial Signet Ring

An elegant and handsome late Victorian sardonyx signet ring, crafted in solid 15k gold and mounted with a large flat-cut 11.6 mm sardonyx agate. The face of the stone has been hand-carved with intricate double Cs in a mirror arrangement (somewhat reminiscent of the Chanel CC logo), allowing the attractive orange-red secondary layer of the sardonyx to show. The style of the lettering/typography hews closely to the late 19th century gothic revival style, with romantic curls and scrolls at every turn.
