Description

Description: A detailed intaglio impression of Zeus who is the sky and thunder god, who rules as king of the gods of Mount Olympus. His Roman equivalent Jupiter. In most traditions, he is married to Hera, by whom he is usually said to have fathered Ares, Hebe and Hephaestus. Zeus was respected as an allfather who was chief of the gods and assigned the others to their roles. Historically rings with impressed designs like this have been referred to as seal rings that were used to stamp its image into wax.

A choice of 2 finishes are available: high polished, antiqued (oxidized) finish, antiqued satin finish or satin finish.

  • High polished, has shiny reflective surface.
  • Antiqued, oxidized and tarnished in the recessed areas. High polish on the raised surfaces, has a darker overall finish.

These rings are made with the original hand engraved dies, also known as 'hubs', from a collection dating back from the 1800's to early 1900's. They are not mass produced and are cast per order making these whimsical rings a very unique, personal and one of a kind gift. Using a combination of techniques from the past and present these fabulous designs have been brought back to life in such a way that even the original tool marks hand engraved over a 100 years ago are left intact and preserved as part of the history and charm of your ring.
