Hand Carved Signet seals from Idar Oberstein, Germany
Here
are some examples of the gem cutting by our favorite German stone
carvers. These are carved in two tone agate, black and white (onyx) or
red and white (carnelian) which make an excellent contrast. They are
also available in green onyx, lapis lazuli, jade, bloodstone, or jasper.Transparent stones such as amethyst, citrine, or garnet can also be carved, but the results look very different and may not be suitable for all projects.
We would be happy to give you a quote based on your artwork.
With your artwork we can carve your coat of arms intaglio (recessed) which can serve as a wax seal,
or in relief (# 21) which is very striking and detailed.
We can carve your initials, or initial either intaglio, or relief as in #7 and the center rings.
Keep in mind that if you wish to use the monogram as a wax seal, the lettering should be reversed on the ring to turn out right on the seal itself.
