'ENSE LIBERTATEM PETIT'
 
'By the sword she seeks peace and liberty'
 
What a motto to live by, eh? Peace and liberty but on my terms with additional sword, thank you very much.
 
A Phoenix, wings spread, rising from the ashes takes centre stage of this gorgeous old shield shaped shardonyx seal. Legend has it that only one phoenix can live at a time. After 500 years of life, they make a nest and set themselves on fire. As the flames die down, a new bird, stronger, and renewed, emerges from the ashes. A rising phoenix inspires hope.
 
The ring has been reshanked at some point during her life and has lost the engraving to the inside of the band which you can see the remnants of very faintly on the inner shoulders. The top right corner of the seal is chipped but the stone is secure in its setting.
 
I'd be happy to resize this ring, significantly, please leave a note at checkout and allow two weeks.
