Dame of the Trefoil Cross – Seal of resilience, freedom, and hope. - Ring

Signet Ring of the Treflée Cross – Seal of resilience, freedom, and hope. This signet ring, with an imposing yet refined design, embodies nobility and resilience, symbolizing a powerful historical heritage. It consists of an oval bezel, at its center the Treflée Cross, forming a true seal, offering an elegant contrast with a darkened bronze background that is gilded and polished. The reliefs, meticulously crafted, reveal the majesty and depth of the motif, while the polished and bright mounts highlight the purity of the metal, a reflection of divine light. Wearing this signet ring, its symbolic meaning today, the Cross of Lorraine evokes Christian faith, courage and resistance, Lorraine identity and historical memory. Thus, the cross becomes more than an ornament: it is a sign of piety, divine protection and spiritual commitment, inviting contemplation and the sanctification of the soul. Dimensions: 29 x 24 x 20 mm Inner diameter: 20.3 mm FR size: 63 - US: 10¼ - UK: T½ - DE: 20 - IT/ES: 23 Weight: 21.04 g Gold-bronze alloy A presentation case will be included. Note, The Cross of Lorraine is a cross composed of a vertical shaft and two horizontal bars (the top bar is shorter). It carries several historical and spiritual meanings. 1. Historical symbol of Lorraine The cross became the emblem of the Duchy of Lorraine in the 15th century. It is associated with the dukes of Lorraine and symbolizes the region’s identity and independence. 2. Symbol of Free France During World War II, Charles de Gaulle chose the Cross of Lorraine as the symbol of the Forces françaises libres to oppose the Nazi swastika. It thus became a symbol of resistance, freedom, and hope. 3. Christian meaning In Christian tradition, the double bar can symbolize: the cross of Christ, the spiritual kingship of Christ, and protection and faith. 4. Today’s symbolic meaning, the Cross of Lorraine evokes Christian faith, courage and resistance, Lorraine identity, and the historical memory of our ancestors.
