Art Deco French 18kt/Platinum Tri-Tone Signet Ring

A signet ring can be represented by a smooth or engraved seal, or with an intaglio, which is created by carving into the surface of a stone. Its purpose would have been to seal the wax of a letter or note.

A wonderful French signet ring from the Art Deco (ca1920) era! This mixed metals ring has a stylish tri-tone design, which is crafted in 18kt yellow gold, 18kt rose gold, and platinum. A smooth, square-shaped platinum seal rests at the center, which could be left plain or engraved if desired. Each shoulder has a geometric motif that very representative of the Art Deco aesthetic. Rose gold chevrons rest above the platinum-topped shoulders, which extend to a wide yellow gold band in the back. The yellow gold setting carries to the sides of the seal, completing the mixed metals motif. Two small French hallmarks can be found stamped on the exterior of the band at the back of the ring. The simple design is both versatile and fashionable, and would be right at home in any collection. Perfect for everyday wear, this wonderful unisex ring could be worn by a man or woman!
