An especially rare and ephemeral Georgian era signet ring, mwhose turquoise glass intaglio seal is carved with an image of a harp, surrounded by the phrase “je reponds á qui me touche:” I respond to every touch. This beautiful old Tassie seal isstill partnered withits original high karat gold ring mount. The bezel that holdsit isembellishedwith ahalo of dainty granulated spheres. The ring's split shoulders are toppedwithshapely, applied epaulettes that are decorated withfine hand-engraving. The slender ring shank is also entirely decorated. This ring is delicate and very lightweight. A real heartbreaker, for the radically vulnerable among us!
