Swallow and French Motto Intaglio Ring
The ring is cast from a replica of a matrix that's part of antique French wax seal intaglio sets (see photos). Note all mottos are in reverse so that it would read correctly when pressed in wax. If you see a different matrix you like we are happy to make it for you. Just send us a note.
The swallow signifies good fortune, joy, and protection.
The French Motto reads "Toujours errante, jamais infidéle" which translates to "Always wandering, never unfaithful"

...................JEWELRY CARE..............
*To clean your Vintaglio, gently use a jewelry polishing cloth (these can be purchased at fine jewelry stores) or a fine brush with mild dish soap. Never use silver cleaner as it will remove the intentional oxidized patina showing the detailed parts of the piece.
*Take care when using harsh chemicals, swimming or using a hot tub as it may affect the patina finish.
*Common items such as perfumes or body lotions may dull the luster of your jewelry, or cause it to tarnish at an accelerated rate.
...............LIFETIME GUARANTEE......
* Please note all of our jewelry comes with our lifetime quality guarantee. See our website for more details www.VintaglioJewelry.com
................WHO WE ARE.....................
At VINTAGLIO we value the craft of jewelry making above all else. We are first and foremost creators. Using hot wax, molten metal, torches, hammers, (and a glass of bourbon) we form one-of-kind 18KT gold and sterling pieces of the highest quality.
We are a unique high-end jewelry line that has spent years (and again copious glasses of bourbon) perfecting the wax sealing and casting process to offer you the most stunning wax impression jewelry in the world. But we are much more than just beautiful impressions, we are a "study" in wax. While we love metal, wax is our favorite medium so all of our jewelry is crafted from hand-worked wax.
VINTAGLIO strongly believes that the true beauty is achieved through the ancient art of wax sealing so we would NEVER use molds or metal clay craft our jewelry. It is this time honored process that makes us not only the highest quality wax seal jewelry on the market but one of the few that is truly made from sealing wax.
Because we believe our original source of gold should be treated like gold, VINTAGLIO uses 50% recycled metal in all our casting. We also source sustainable materials whenever possible.
All jewelry is proudly handcrafted one at a time in Dallas, Texas USA.

Frequently Asked Questions

We love custom and personalization here at Vintaglio. Please send us your requests no matter how crazy. Please note that custom and personalized items will take longer. If you are adding initials to a pendant this can add a few days as these items are made on demand.
How is my international package shipped and tracked?
Etsy partners with a company called Asendia, in the US who receives your package from USPS and then sends it to you through the your country’s national postal carrier, similar to how USPS sends international packages.
Global Postal Shipping use a combination of carriers to help ensure a timely delivery. Etsy combines tracking information for each part of the package’s journey to show the history but there can be long gaps between movement. Tracking will be sent in an email when shipped but can also be viewed in the Etsy app and on Etsy.com in your account by visiting (You > Purchases and reviews). This is the only place to review tracking as there is not a number like you might be accustomed to.
Do you ship UPS, FedEx and DHL for both domestic and international orders?
Yes. Please let us know if you would like us to quote this option. For international orders it is usually costs more than the actual item purchased but is very quick.

The ring I received is stunning. A truly beautiful piece of craftsmanship. The shop owner was great to work with as well, keeping in contact about the process and when they expected to ship. I look forward to buying from this shop again. Thank you for your beautiful work!
