Sterling Silver Scottish Lion Rampant Signet Ring (SSR8903)

£0.00

The Lion Rampant is one of Scotland's most ancient and powerful heraldic symbols, its origins as a royal emblem dating to the twelfth century.  Associated with the Scottish crown and appearing on the Royal Standard of Scotland, the lion rampant has been a symbol of national pride and sovereign authority for over eight hundred years.  The signet ring has an equally long history as a vehicle for heraldic display, its broad oval face providing a natural field for the presentation of personal and national emblems.  The combination of the lion rampant with the Scottish thistle on the shoulders of a signet ring brings together two of Scotland's most enduring national symbols within a single, authoritative piece.

This ring presents a broad oval signet face set with a deep navy blue enamel ground, against which a three-dimensional lion rampant figure stands in high relief, its raised and clawed forelegs, upright posture and curling tail rendered with confident heraldic clarity.  The enamel ground provides a strong tonal contrast that gives the silver lion exceptional definition and presence.  The shoulders of the ring are open-worked, each carrying a naturalistically rendered thistle motif, its crosshatched globe and feathered crown clearly detailed on either side of the face.  The shank is broad and smooth, tapering from the decorated shoulders.  The silver throughout carries a high mirror polish.

925 sterling silver with blue enamel ground.
