    Jeff, Sounds like a shellac wax you have there it's the result of
    using a se al, of course, and all seals are made in the negative
    form so that they produce a positive wax or shellac seal You CAN
    destroy what you have easily, so be careful!  If it's a really good
    impression, you might use a room temperature vulcanizing product,
    but it COULD adversely affect that seal I would find someone who can
    make a 3D scan of the object and produce a negative in CAD From that
    a wax or thermoplastic mold can be made and you can cast an
    original, which would be the negative, of course This is a great job
    for CAD and CAM If you need soemone who can do this, let me know
    Alternatively, you can make it from scratch in CAD alone, like
    Matrix, from GemVision Corp The latest beta of Matrix has an
    incredible signet ring builder tool and class ring builder tool which
    would make this pretty easy to accomplish and the quality is
    exceptional! Should be a piece of cake
