Hermes Mercury Roman God Bloodstone Intaglio Ring Gold Victorian Hand Carved
Located in New York, NY
This is a rare and wonderful antique Belle Epoque, Victorian ring with a beautiful hand carved Intaglio of a Roman Warrior God with a winged helmet, Mercury or Hermes, in Bloodstone. The early ring is 10 Karat Gold. The blood stone is hand carved with the image of a Roman Warrior God - Hermes or Mercury. Carving hard stone gems, such as bloodstones, is very difficult and requires a superb artisan. The carving on the stone is just stunning. The bloodstone has fabulous specks of red, or "blood" which are created in most instances by flecks of the red stone, Jasper. Bloodstone itself is a variety of quartz.
The famed contemporary jeweler, Elizabeth Locke, uses antique intaglios as the inspiration for her works. Her pieces usually use glass intaglios. Here is your opportunity to own the real thing with a rare hand carved bloodstone intaglio! The dramatic Hermes or Mercury ring...

22KT Antique Gold Signet Ring with Griffon Motif, c.18th Century
Located in Braintree, GB
A rare antique gold signet ring finely crafted in high-purity 22KT gold and weighing 14.4 grams. The ring features an oval bezel deeply engraved with a griffon — a mythical creature symbolising strength, guardianship, and nobility. Likely produced in the 18th century, this ring exemplifies the classical tradition of men’s signet rings used to denote status, lineage, and family heritage.
The engraved griffon motif suggests it may have belonged to a person of rank, as such mythical beasts were frequently used in family crest rings and heraldic seals. With its bold presence and sculptural engraving, this piece serves as both a wearable artwork and a genuine historical artefact.
This antique gold signet ring makes a striking choice for collectors, those seeking a custom signet ring alternative with authentic provenance, or anyone looking for a meaningful men’s gold signet ring or women’s signet ring...

Diamond Rings, Luxury Watches and Other Antique and Vintage Fine Jewelry and Estate Jewelry on 1stDibs
Our love for diamond rings, luxury watches and other antique and vintage fine jewelry and estate jewelry goes back thousands of years.
Jewelry has long been a symbol of spiritual strength, wealth or power and, of course, a means of personal expression. While materials and processes employed by the world’s most popular jewelry houses — Tiffany Co., Cartier, BVLGARI and others — have evolved over time, humans still gravitate toward many of the same accessories that our ancestors wore.
Ancient Egyptians were often hard at work designing jewelry and adorning themselves with an array of necklaces, rings and other items, and nearly every Egyptian, rich or poor, was buried with some kind of jewelry. When King Tut’s burial chamber was excavated, it revealed a sense of style that inspired Art Deco jewelry designs.
Brooches and pins remain essentials in our jewelry boxes, although we no longer require them to fasten our garments, as was once their primary use. Rings, which have always been signifiers of eternity, still serve as romantic gifts and tokens of affection.
Engagement rings are still widely recognized as symbols of love and commitment — and as it can be difficult to choose the right one, explore our buying guides for a close look at antique engagement rings, Art Deco engagement rings and vintage engagement rings. [Fun fact: It wasn’t until the 14th century that we learned how to effectively cut diamonds, a critical step in revealing the stone’s brilliance.]
Hoop earrings are imbued with symbolism and cultural significance for many, and on view in the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s Ancient Near Eastern Art Gallery is a pair of simple gold hoops from Mesopotamia dating to between 2600 and 2500 B.C. We’ve even created our own new, sacred symbols — the Cartier Love bracelet, for example, with its distinctive locking mechanism, is an understated and modernist symbol of love’s promise (with its own captivating history to boot). And, crafted by French jeweler Jacques Arpels of Van Cleef Arpels, the Magic Alhambra necklace channels luck for the wearer with its universally adored design, which is informed by four-leaf clovers, a plant synonymous with good fortune.
Whether it’s our sentimental charm jewelry, costume jewelry, chunky retro bracelets or minimalist earrings created by contemporary designers, luxurious jewels can elevate any outfit, regardless of your personal style.
Find a wide-ranging collection of authentic antique, new and vintage jewelry today on 1stDibs.
