I've been wanting to do my family's coat-of-arms as a seal stone for some time. This is my first attempt at doing a coat of arms and it isn't too bad but I need to do more of these coat-of-arms as they are quite tricky and challenging. The style of engraving is called reverse intaglio and these sort of stones are traditionally used in signet rings for putting the family seal in wax, like on letters and official documents.

If you would like me to do your family's coat-of-arms, signature or initials, feel free to get in touch. Ideally I would require an image showing the coat-of-arms so that I have something to work with.

Comments : Here is an interesting carnelian that I cut for the super talented jewellery designer, Fealofani Elisara. It is a take on the classic "fan" idea and I believe it is going to be set in a gorgeous one-of-a-kind ring that she is designing. Check out her website when you get a chance to see her wonderful creations.

Carnelian, Brazil, #126

Stone : Carnelian
Cut By : Doug Menadue, 2009
Item : #126
Design : Tablet (for Ring Seal) (Doug Menadue)
Origin : Brazil
Treatments : Heated
Weight : 7.6 ct carats
Clarity : Eye Clean
Size : 9mm X 15mm X 5mm
Price : SOLD

Comments : A richly coloured tablet of carnelian from Brazil. This would look great with a band of gold around the girdle. An interesting piece that's a little different. Another good idea for this piece is to have it carved Intaglio style as per a wax seal or signet ring. Now that would be interesting and very unique.
