Late Victorian Bloodstone Signet Ring with Carved Shoulders

The Story

In ancient times, warriors used to carry bloodstone amulets with them, believing it would stop their wounds from bleeding. This belief evolved throughout time, with the Victorians eventually believing Bloodstone to have the power to ward off the evil eye, imbuing the wearer with strength and courage (not too far from the stone’s battlefield roots!). Original hallmarks reveal this ring makes its way from Late Victorian Chester, England, and we can certainly see how a ring like this could make its owner feel powerful and courageous. At 13.04 mm in length, this ring has excellent finger coverage to showcase the central stone, with tapered shoulders featuring cavings that evoke the strong marble columns of ancient architecture. How will this ring help its future owner find courage and victory? The story is yours to tell.
