The St. John Eagle Signet Ring is a signet in 925 sterling silver, the flat-faced ring form once used to press a seal into wax, carrying the eagle of Saint John the Evangelist. The eagle has stood for John since the earliest Christian art, one of the four living creatures assigned to the Gospel writers, given to him because his Gospel looks straight into the divine.The bird is cut into the face of the ring itself rather than applied on top, so the seal and the emblem are one piece of metal. Worn on the hand, it keeps John's witness and the eagle's far sight close through the day.
