Lost Owl "The Eternal Journey" Ring
A signet ring by Lost Owl. The hand-engraved sigil combines two powerful symbols:
The Ouroboros to signify eternity and wisdom, apparently immobile yet it is perpetual motion, it is life and death and neither, it is birth and rebirth, the end and the beginning and the whole.
And the compass rose represents the cardinal points, guidance, and truth.
Together, they are life; the journey, endless and eternal. Its end, its beginning, and everything in between; there and back again.
The ring dates from the 1940s with octagonal face and superb patina. Hallmarks from the London assay office warrant the gold and confirm that it was made in 1947.

Condition
We offer detailed and accurate condition reports on each listing. These pieces are antique, vintage, or pre-loved, often over 100 years old so they're going to have lived a life. A healthy patina and the odd scuff/scrape are quite normal... it's part of their charm! Everything we present has been checked over by our jeweller and should be good for wear for many years to come (unless otherwise stated) but please remember to treat them with appropriate care and consideration for their age.
