The engraving is delicate, coming into view as the light moves across the surface.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"791\" data-start=\"604\"\u003eCarnelian was often chosen for engraving due to its durability, making it both practical and decorative. Pieces like this were made to be worn and used, carrying meaning as well as style.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"1212\" data-start=\"793\"\u003eThe bird appears symbolic rather than heraldic. In the aftermath of the First World War, as the 1920s dawned, imagery such as this carried a particular resonance. The bird, often seen as a dove or songbird, a sign of peace, renewal and enduring affection. The foliage it bears, perhaps olive or laurel, suggests reconciliation and hope restored. There is a gentleness to it, hinting at contentment rather than display.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Parkin and Gerrish","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56966705611125,"sku":"141M","price":20250.0,"currency_code":"SEK","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0373\/3428\/6475\/files\/art-deco-18ct-gold-carnelian-signet-ring-with-an-engraving-of-a-bird-4402722.jpg?v=1774315773","url":"https:\/\/parkinandgerrish.com\/en-se\/products\/art-deco-18ct-gold-carnelian-signet-ring-with-an-engraving-of-a-bird","provider":"Parkin and Gerrish","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
