Hand crafted from a well worn antique British gold signet ring, hallmarked in 1894 during the Victorian era.

There are many beautiful inspiring family mottos, in Latin, that often accompany the wavy six pointed star:
For the English family Aston the motto E TENEBRIS LUX which translates light out of darkness or brighter in the darkness.
For the Dawson family it’s TOUJOURS PROPICE which translates always propitious or always pointing toward a happy, favorable outcome.
For the Welsh or Scottish family Flint the motto is SINE MACULA which translates
without imperfection.
For the family of Robert Martin, Esq of Ross House in Galway it’s SIC ITUR AD ASTRA meaning thus they go to heaven, such is the way to immortality, thus one goes to the stars.

Impressed with history!
