Antique Signet Rings

One of the passages in Georgette Heyer's The Quiet Gentleman
describes his signet ring and allows us to catch a glimpse of regency fasion.

"A very fine emerald, cut to my order. I daresay you might never see just such another, for they are rare, you know. I am informed that there is considerable difficulty experienced in cutting them to form signets."

I have a friend who is a famous gemstone wholesaler. I asked him about carving emeralds into signets or seals and he concurred that it is difficult because an emerald is a very hard stone. He said it takes a real expert to do this and that it is not done much these days but it was in the past.

Here are a couple of rings that I found:
Authentic Ancient Signet Ring
Carved Emerald and Pearl Double Finger Ring

There are some beautiful antique signet rings on eBay and who knows, maybe every so often there might be an emerald one.
