[QUOTE="Anyiquesbyjewels, post: 11980513, member: 18988"][ATTACH=full]550848[/ATTACH] Hi everyone, I’m looking for help identifying the specific family coat of arms on this 18ct gold signet ring (weight 16g). Key Details: • The Arms: Features a shield flanked by two lions rampant as supporters, topped with a royal-style coronet. • The Shield: Inside the shield, I can see four distinct diamonds (lozenges). • The Motto: There is a motto scroll at the base, but it is engraved in reverse (for wax seals). • Hallmarks: It bears UK hallmarks, though the imagery appears to have a strong Dutch influence (remniscent of the House of Orange-Nassau). Since signet rings are mirrored, I’ve included the direct photo of the ring. I am trying to determine if the "four diamonds" identify a specific branch of a family or a particular noble house, especially given the Anglo-Dutch connection suggested by the UK hallmark. Any insights into the family lineage or the meaning of the four lozenges would be greatly appreciated![/QUOTE]
