Edwardian 18ct Yellow Gold Bloodstone Intaglio Signet Ring

This spectacular antique signet ring is set with a beautifully carved bloodstone intaglio in warm 18ct yellow gold. When light passes through the stone, it takes on a rich, dark green glow, with subtle flecks of red scattered across its face, a hallmark of fine bloodstone

The intaglio is engraved with “I will return” above a rising sun, a striking and evocative design that gives the piece real character and depth. The carving is crisp and well defined, and the ring sits with a lovely presence on the hand.

Rising sun motifs and sentimental inscriptions were popular during the Edwardian period, often carrying personal or symbolic meaning for the original wearer, perhaps a message of hope, promise, or eventual reunion. Intaglio rings such as this were prized for their artistry and individuality, with each carving offering something entirely unique, making them a wonderful area of interest for collectors today.
