An enchanting 14K Yellow Gold Carved Blue Agate Signet Ring depicting a fir tree and a Chamois on three hills. The image reminds me of the Deer God "Forest Spirit" in Studio Ghibli's Princess Mononoke which is the protector of the Cedar Forest and is the god of life and death.
The image of the horned animal symbolizes power and strength, and horned gods in Greek mythology represented warriors and lords of the animal kingdom.
Signet rings can be dated back as far as 3500 BC when the people of Mesopotamia used cylindrical seals as marks of authenticity. Ancient Egyptians used seals attached to a ring and Pharaohs and other important people of the day would wear them to show their position. The word signet originated from the Latin word “signum” meaning “sign” and were worn by royalty and notable people as a personal signature or symbol of family heritage.
