Moss Ring
Custom made 14ky gold mans signet ring. This massive, classic oval tabled ring measures 20x25mm: on it’s engraved surface, the table thickness is 3/16″ at it’s thinest point, and the total weight is 40.1 grams, or 1.29oz.. Constructed with a squared shoulder shank to help prevent rollover while being worn, it has been engraved with a modified Pearl Roman monogram. This style of engraving is rather deep, 2 full width passes of a square graver carve a sculptured stem and serif design reminicent of the Roman stone lettering of antiquity. It is seen here “shaded” with the addition of some scrolled border elements to help compose the monogram and frame it within the surface of the ring. This form of cut lends itself nicely to creating a wax seal as well, and retains it’s sharp edges and distinct character for many generations, a personal favorite.
