The Taurus Alchemical Zodiac Signet Ring is inspired by the precise instructions of a 17th-century alchemical manuscript, where its creation was bound to strict celestial timing. The seal was to be forged from a blend of copper, zinc, iron, and gold, melted and shaped at the exact moment the Sun entered Taurus in early April. Both the crafting and engraving were to be completed within this narrow astrological window, lest the talisman lose its virtue.
The text further prescribed that the Moon stand in the tenth degree of Taurus when the sigil was first applied, amplifying its bond to the sign’s steady and grounded nature. To meet such fleeting alignments, iron stamps were advised, so the symbols might be swiftly impressed before the hour slipped away.
In antiquity, the Taurus Seal was revered as a charm of stability and strength. It was believed to steady the spirit, instill calm determination, and anchor its bearer against the turbulence of fortune.
Reimagined as a signet, the Taurus Seal carries this enduring legacy: a talisman of patience, perseverance, and inner strength, embodying the unyielding essence of the Bull.
Every Common Era ring is cast in New York City using the ancient lost-wax method. Never hollowed or filled, each is made entirely from 100% recycled solid gold—crafted to endure for centuries.
Why Solid Gold ✨
Solid gold is the best option if you:
1. Want to wear your piece forever or pass it down as an heirloom. Solid gold will last for centuries without degrading.
2. Want to invest in jewelry as an asset rather than an accessory. Gold traditionally appreciates in value and can always be melted down and made into a new piece
Unlike many brands, our gold is never hollow - it is always 100% solid, cast using the lost wax method, meaning there is a lot more gold in each piece.
Our gold is 100% certified recycled and each piece is handcrafted here in New York.

Solid gold orders ship from our NYC studio and the time to ship is indicated above the "Add to cart" button on those pieces.
Why don't you make rings in Gold Vermeil?
While we love the affordability of vermeil, it's not an ideal metal for rings because our hands are exposed to so much wear and tear.
Vermeil necklaces can last 2 - 3 years with proper care, but we've never seen a vermeil ring last more than 6 months.
We would be wrong to sell these rings to you in anything but solid gold.
Does your jewelry come in a box or a pouch?
Both! Our packaging is made in Chicago and consists of a peach-colored vegan suede pouch in a branded box, so they’re easy to wrap up as gifts.
