Antique 18k Yellow & Niello Saint George & Dragon Slayer Signet Ring
About the Item
The depiction of a Saint George slaying the dragon signet ring is a powerful symbol steeped in history and mythology, making it a captivating choice for those who appreciate both artistic detail and storytelling in their jewelry.
This ring features an intricate depiction of Saint George, the patron saint of England and many other countries, heroically battling a dragon. This legend symbolizes the victory of good over evil and is a popular motif in Christian art and jewelry.
This ring is a superb example and is crafted from high-quality 18-karat gold and niello work. Niello represents a unique and historically rich art jewelry technique derived from the Latin word "nigellus" meaning black or dark. It is a black mixture of copper, silver, and sulfides used as an inlay on engraved or etched metal, typically silver and gold. The contrast between the black niello and the luminous metal creates striking and dramatic visuals, often used to enhance patterns and detailed pictorial scenes.
This ring is not just a piece of jewelry; it’s a conversation starter and a testament to enduring bravery and the eternal struggle between good and evil.
