'Esto Quod Essa Videris' the Latin phrase meaning 'Be What You Are'
I can't think of a more fitting motto.
This signet ring is a BEAUTIFUL example. Proportionally perfect with a large face and wide shoulders but a low profile, it sinks right into the finger so that in wear, you can forget it's there.
The deep seal is that of a Griffin; a mythical creatue with the body of a lion and head and wings of an eagle. They are considered to be symbolic of power, wealth and courage.
The Latin phrase it set into the shape of a horse shoe, symbolising good luck and protection.
A powerful message and a reminder to BE WHAT YOU ARE. Be strong. Be proud. Do not be afraid.
Seal rings are having a moment and are becoming harder and harder to find, so I'm delighted to be able to offer this piece to you and I hope it brings much stregth and positivity to its new owner.

All of my pieces are at the very least pre-loved and most of them are vintage or antique. This item is not brand new and as such, will not look brand new. Please expect signs of wear to include kinks in links, surface wear to gold, scuffs to stones and accept this as part and parcel of buying second hand jewellery. I will be as clear as I can with item descriptions and condition statement and aim to make sure you are aware of any potential defects before you buy.
