"The Kentish Rose" Ancient Intaglio Ring
01 / Sourcing & Discovery
The central carnelian intaglio seal was carved in the 3rd century AD during the Roman Empire, depicting a wild rose. We sourced this antiquity from a private collection.
02 / Meticulous Handcraft
Polly hand-forged the signet ring setting from 18ct yellow gold, using charcoal fires and simple hammers to replicate the texture of ancient goldsmithing work, framing the carnelian seal securely.
03 / Character & Living
A unique signet ring that carries the classical elegance of ancient Rome. Its heavy gold setting and historic carnelian seal make it a striking, personal heirloom to wear daily.
