Antique Russian Unisex Signet Intaglio Ring dating to ca. ca. late XIX - early XX cent. in solid 14K Rose / Red Gold with claw set fine intaglio on Red Onyx depicting Greek Athena (Roman Minerva ) or Anat (Canaanite ) or Neith (Egyptian) - Goddess of poetry, medicine, wisdom, commerce, weaving, and the crafts. Hand - carved with great accuracy and attention to detail on solid stone of irregular cut ca. 16 mm x 11 mm x 3 mm deep / ca 13 ct. This ring is unisex and is suitable for Men and Women if the size is right. Made in Imperial Russia ca. late XIX - early XX cent. Hallmarks partially Hallmarked with Imperial Russian 56 (14K) fragmented hallmarks used before 1908, parts of other original hallmarks were removed / damaged in the process of past resizing. Apparently tin was used to solder the band, it became darkened / patinated with time on both sides. Used fine condition, cameo is secure in trident shaped claws. Stone with very minor signs of wear. Decades old patina on metal that I didn't dare to polish off. Size : Ø 9 US scale / 18.89 mm.Resizing is possible . Weight: 4.1 grams. P.S Fragmented hallmarks on old Russian rings made at Imperial period is a common feature because of the way these rings used to be hallmarked. Very often Russian Jewelers would hallmark the narrowest part of ring's band, both outside and inside and as a result such hallmarks would often become naturally damaged as a result of natural wear ( if placed outside ) or as a result of custom (careless) resizing that could often be necessary if the ring changed the owner, say after 30 - 40 years of its appearance when such hallmarks were still relatively common and seemed not so old to care about so much .. Jewelers would often cut the narrowest part of the band to make it smaller or bigger... Thus a lot of Russian rings have fragmented or lost hallmarks and that makes proper ID difficult or impossible.
