This signet ring, made of 580 purity gold, bears traces of workshops operating within the Austro-Hungarian Monarchy during the period 1872–1922.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt the center is a two-tone agate, a stone whose natural layering allowed for the creation of an exceptionally contrasting intaglio. The coat of arms, though simplified, easily brings to mind the heraldic gems of the Szembek family; a clear outline of a goat in stride is visible, facing heraldically right, and above it, a noble crown adorning the shield, from which ostrich feathers emerge.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSuch signet rings were not only a mark of family belonging but also a tool for daily use; the intaglio was used to imprint wax seals on correspondence. Today, it is not only a unique collector's item but also a tangible document of a bygone social order.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe gold surface has retained delicate micro-scratches, testament to over a hundred years of use, as if through these traces one could decipher the discrete signals of past decades. This subtle patina of authenticity has not been removed; it has been preserved as part of the object's identity.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Syncret","offers":[{"title":"Yellow gold 580 \/ 19.5","offer_id":56770902950223,"sku":"0020004447","price":7690.0,"currency_code":"PLN","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0961\/5566\/4719\/files\/0020004447Zlotysygnetherbowyzonyksemdwubarwnym_Praga1872-1922_2.webp?v=1767800643","url":"https:\/\/syncret.com\/en\/products\/zloty-sygnet-herbowy-z-agatem-dwubarwnym-praga-1872-1922","provider":"syncret","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
