The Virgo Alchemical Zodiac Signet Ring draws from the meticulous instructions of a 17th-century alchemical manuscript, where its creation was governed by celestial precision. The seal was to be forged from a blend of gold, copper, silver, and tin, melted together as the Sun entered Virgo in mid-August. Once cast, the metal was to be shaped into a thin lamina—a refined form that echoed Virgo’s devotion to detail and care.
The engraving was prescribed for the hour of Mercury, Virgo’s ruling planet, and only when Mercury stood in favorable alignment. The sigil had to be completed within this narrow celestial hour, then applied while Mercury occupied the First House of Heaven, beneath a clear and tranquil sky. Such conditions were believed to endow the talisman with its full measure of virtue.
In antiquity, the Virgo Seal was revered as a charm of clarity and healing. It was said to sharpen intellect, foster discernment, and bring order and calm to its bearer—qualities that mirror Virgo’s thoughtful and nurturing essence.
Reimagined as a signet, the Virgo Seal carries this legacy forward: a talisman of focus, clarity, and purposeful action, shaped in the quiet strength of Virgo.
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.

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?
Necklaces come in a beautiful maroon box, while rings come in an antique-style velvet box.
