Gold Signet Ring with Heraldic Crest

This is a yellow gold signet ring featuring a prominent oval face with a deeply cast or engraved heraldic crest. The metal exhibits a rich, yellow hue suggestive of a high karat gold content, such as 14k or 18k. The central heraldic shield design includes three defined stars or mullets across the top (in chief) and a lower figure that appears to be a bird, possibly a martlet or eagle, in profile. Above the shield, a mantling or helmet crest is visible. The ring's construction is substantial, with thick shoulders that taper into a solid band. The surface shows a softened texture and a slight matte patina, indicating consistent wear. There is minor surface scratching and typical age-related softening of the finer details of the crest engraving. No visible maker's marks or hallmarks are identifiable from this angle, but the craftsmanship suggests a late 20th-century or vintage production style, likely custom-made or from a heraldic specialist. The edges of the oval face are rounded, contributing to a comfortable, classic aesthetic typical of masculine jewelry from the mid-to-late 1900s.
