{"product_id":"georgian-turtle-dove-intaglio-signet-ring","title":"Georgian Turtle Dove Intaglio Signet Ring","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe turtle dove, \u003cem\u003eStreptopelia turtur\u003c\/em\u003e, has been a symbol of faithfulness and devotion since Roman times. The saying \"be true in love as a turtle dove\" dates back to Renaissance England, and the dove carved here, perched on a young, leafy tree, represents young love or marriage (if it was perched on a dead tree, it would symbolise death and mourning). Turtle doves mate for life; they work together to build their nests and raise their young; and if one of the pair dies, it is said that the partner will stay with its body for days or even weeks. Folklore tells that a turtle dove will die of a broken heart if it loses its partner. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis carnelian intaglio signet ring has been carved with a turtle dove perched on a laurel tree, signifying young and \u003cem\u003eevergreen\u003c\/em\u003e love - the laurel staying green all year round. The word above - \u003cem\u003eFIDELLE \u003c\/em\u003e- is old French meaning 'faithful'. The bright red stone rests in a simple double bezel, crafted in 9ct gold throughout, and dating from the late Georgian period, circa 1800. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEra: Georgian, circa 1800\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStone: Carnelian Agate\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRing size: J or 4.75 US.
