Georgian Faith Hope & Love Ring
Gorgeous antique signet ring dating from the late Georgian period, circa 1830. The head has been carved with a symbolic intaglio: a cross, an anchor, and a flaming heart representing the three virtues Faith, Hope, and Love. Traditionally the theological virtues have been named faith, hope, and charity (love). They are coupled with the four natural or cardinal virtues, and opposed to the seven deadly sins.
It's crafted in 15 carat gold with beautifully engraved orange-blossom shoulder motifs and an octagonal head.

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.
