Product Information

Beautiful antique ring (1950) from Balochistan, made of smooth silver and featuring an engraved carnelian.
On the band, three colored glass stones have been set as additional decoration, which was quite rare at the time.

These signet rings were used to seal documents, leave signatures, or simply to show the wearer’s power and status.

Each one of them belongs to a family, a story, and a very specific social and political standing: the larger, more ornate, and rarer the materials, the greater the power and prestige of the wearer in society.
