- Lot Description
Western Europe, France, ca. 1890 CE. A solid 76% (equivalent to 18K+) gold armorial signet ring for the surname Auxy. The thick shank has a flat interior and flares to a rectangular face engraved with the coat of arms depicting a checkered shield flanked by lions and a knight's helmet with scrolling foliage above. The motto within the banner reads "ET TOI AUXY" and is engraved in reverse to use as a signet. The exterior lower shank contains an owl assay mark. The owl indicates this ring originated in another country but meets the minimum gold standards and passed through a French assay office. The Auxy family is one of the oldest noble families from Auxi-le-Chateau of Artois, dating back to the 12th century. This ring is perfect for those who bear the Auxy name or those who are fascinated by genealogy! Size of shank: 0.65" Diameter x 0.26" W (1.7 cm x 0.7 cm); crest face: 0.7" L x 0.55" W (1.8 cm x 1.4 cm); US ring size 6.75; gold quality: 76% (equivalent to 18K+); weight 25.4 grams
