Up for sale is a recent Auction find, a Vintage 1940's SIGNED Baden & Foss of New York LARGE 9ct Hand Carved Ruby Intaglio 10k Solid Yellow Gold Men's Wax Seal Ring in EXCEPTIONAL CONDITION. This Original Vintage 1940's SIGNED Baden & Foss of New York 10k Solid Yellow Gold Wax Seal ring is set with an Amazing LARGE 9ct 13.5x12mm RUBY with superb DEEP RED COLOR and near perfect clarity. This particular intaglio is of the Greek God Hermes or Roman God Mercury messenger of the gods. An Intaglio is carved into the ruby so that it sits below the surface plane of the ruby, as opposed to a cameo in which the design is raised from it's background. These Intaglio Gemstones were sometimes used to press into wax to seal documents. Photo #2 shows the impression made in red wax. It is rare to find a Hand Carved Intaglio of this quality and in Ruby because most were done in Carnelian or Onyx. This is glowing ruby has beautiful color and wonderful luster. This wonderful ruby is cushion-cut cabochon. Cabochon refers to a gemstone that has been shaped and highly polished instead of being faceted. The gemstone tests as a ruby on a Presidium Gem Tester and a reflectometer and is most likely a very high quality lab grown ruby. The gemstone has not been removed from the setting for testing so we cannot say it is a natural ruby as it is most likely a very high quality lab grown ruby. A Lab Grown Ruby has the exact same physical, optical, and chemical properties of a Natural Ruby meaning it is as hard and scratch resistant. This Ruby is in PERFECT PRISTINE CONDITION free of any chips, nicks, cracks, or scratches. This ring is hallmarked with "B&F" which is Baden & Foss, Inc of NY. Robert Baden designed the jewelry and they worked in the 1940's and were later acquired by American Gemsmiths, Inc, also of New York.The dark areas on the gold in the photos are not blemishes but shadows and reflections due to the difficulty in photographing the highly polished gold. This ring is fully hallmarked "10k" and tests as and is guaranteed to be 10k Solid Gold. (Again this ring is guaranteed to be Solid Gold not plated or layered) This ring is in EXCEPTIONAL CONDITION will arrive ready to wear.
