![]() In this case the intaglio holds the depiction of the goddess Fortuna, portrayed bearing a cornucopia, symbol of abundance, and a rudder, symbol of her control over human destinies. Iconographies on intaglios were driven from literature, mythology or religion. This fine intaglio is carved from carnelian the name carnelian derives from the Latin word carneus, which means fleshy, a reference to the colour of the semi-precious stone. Furthermore, in Ancient Roman culture gemstones were amongst the most expensive and lavish objects and were prized above all other possessions. The extremely sophisticated technique of engraving of gemstones was one of the most luxurious art forms in the Ancient World. Both men and women would have worn multiple rings on each finger, competing in vanity for the one having the bigger or heavier ring.

Should you receive a ring that you feel may be a little tight or loose please contact us and we will make an adjustment for you. Ring designs can have an effect on the feel of the fit.A ring that has a setting that sits high off the finger will feel looser than a band that sits very close to the finger.It is not that you have been incorrectly sized it’s just how the design works along with your finger shape.Finger Shape plays a big role in determining the correct size.If your finger tapers away from the hand without a prominent knuckle then you should require a more snug fit at the base of the finger without the skin bulging or permanently leaving an indent.If you have a wide knuckle then you need to determine a balance the trick is to get the tightest possible size that fits over the knuckle, this will require using slightly more force when taking the ring on and off, but should reduce the ring swinging around the finger.It is normal for rings to feel more restrictive over the summer months and looser over the winter months. There will be days when rings feel slightly loose and days when they feel a little tight. All fingers fluctuate in size depending on temperature, hormones, exercise, etc.Please do not print off any online tools as these don’t print to scale and will give you an inaccurate result.We also find this online conversion tool very helpful if you know your finger diameter or circumference If you would like us to mail you a multisizer please contact us via this link: ![]() When using the multisizer we recommend that you try it at multiple times throughout the day and ideally in different temperatures as your fingers will swell with heat and retract in cold weather. ![]() The UK multisizer is marked with British Ring Sizes A-Z+9 and the US version runs from sizes 1-17.
