— our canine friend's deep, stippled texture stands in contrast. This ring is the classic signet shape, with a smooth, tapering profile. A series of raised beads decorate its shoulders. Its half-round shank tapers toward the base. We love the quiet strength of this animal talisman. It bears a full set of English hallmarks, indicating manufacture in Chester, in the year 1915. Hounds in heraldry typically symbolize fidelity and vigilance. Though originally intended for a man, this ring is well-suited to all genders.
