The Warner Gresham Grasshopper Seal Ring

A unique 16th-century signet ring will be auctioned at Noonans Mayfair's Jewellery, Watches, Silver, and Objects of Vertu sale on 17 June 2025. The ring, unrecorded until now, is carved with the coat of arms of Warner and believed to have been gifted from Tudor financier and merchant Sir Thomas Gresham (1519-1579) to Mark Warner, a cloth merchant and liveryman of Draper's Company and member of the parish of All Hallows on Lombard Street in London. Collectors should take note.
