Collection: Carnelian Rings

Carnelian rings set a warm red-orange stone that Roman and Islamic engravers used for seal rings because it takes a clean cut and does not stick to hot wax.

What's in this collection

23 designs, including oval carnelian signets in the traditional seal-ring form, and figural rings where the stone backs a carved lion, saint or tree of life.

Materials & craft

Every ring in this collection is hand-carved and cast in 925 sterling silver, then finished by hand as oxidized, polished, or gold vermeil. Most designs are also available in 10K and 14K solid gold. Each piece is made to order in our own workshop in Türkiye, so no two come out identical.

Ring sizes run US 4 to 15, including half sizes. Every order ships worldwide in gift-ready packaging with a polishing cloth.

Frequently asked questions

Why was carnelian used for signet rings?

Because molten sealing wax does not stick to it. Carnelian was the standard stone for Roman and later Islamic seal rings, engraved in reverse so the impression read correctly.

What metal are these rings made from?

Each ring is cast in 925 sterling silver and hand-finished as oxidized, polished or gold vermeil. Solid 10K and 14K gold are available on most designs.

What ring sizes do you offer?

US 4 through 15, including half sizes. Every ring is made to order in the size you choose, so there is no resizing needed.

Are these rings handmade?

Yes. Every piece is hand-carved, cast and hand-finished by our own silversmiths in Türkiye, then made to order.
