Vintage 18K Gold Greek Honey Bee Signet Ring
About the Item
This 18k gold signet ring features a stylized cameo of a honey bee in a shallow concave oval. This iconic Greek symbol is beautifully depicted in bas relief with accentuated details on the bee's elongated body. The gold has a lovely patina; the recesses of the gold have a matte surface while the highlights are polished to bring the bee to life. The ring’s band has a similar low-relief motif that encircles it. The oval border around the signet makes the cameo a perfect wax seal.
Bees were an important symbol in Greek mythology, as bees were considered servants of the gods. Because of its healing attributes, honey was seen as a holy substance, and bees and honey symbology represented knowledge, health, and power. As such, the bee is often found in Greek Art and Greek Revival jewelry, and has remained a popular motif in contemporary fashion.
The ring is marked 750, Greece, and contains the maker’s mark E.37 (with a Greek epsilon). The ring weighs 9.9 grams. The face of the signet measures 1” x 3/4”.
Ring size 6.25. Because of the motif around the band, the ring cannot be resized.

18K Gold Hand-Engraved Enamel Signet Ring with Symmetrical Design
Located in Venice, CA
This elegant and bold 18 karat gold ring features elaborate hand-engraved and carved rhythmic curling motifs that create a symmetrical pattern. The decorative elements cover the flat top of the band and continue over to the sides in a more restrained manner, the side engraving curling motifs have been slightly worn due to the wear and age of this gold ring. The gentle wear makes the ring overall very soft to the touch, and comfortable to wear. Additionally, the solid 32 grams of 18 karat yellow gold give this ring a nice feeling of substance. What makes this ring very unique is the script design that has symmetrical or mirror play, in the form of hand painted and inlaid enamel...
