We love a ring with history - and this is brimming with it. The original band is a fabulous 15ct gold band from 1873 - its patterns are almost all but gone - but the date stamp is still clear on the inside. Added to later (as was often done by families in later generations) this ring features an 18ct angular setting and has also been sized up at the back with the same gold. The 18ct is slightly yellower in its hue and it adds to the history of the ring. Featuring a central synthetic old cut ruby we can assume this addition was added after 1904 when synthetic rubies became widely available. The side stones are two fabulous old cut white zircons and their sparkle is fabulous (check out the videos on instagram). 

The star settings are still in lovely condition and we love the symbolism of a trilogy - the past present and future and in a ring with history like this it feels so much more poignant.

Condition - the original 15ct ring has lost most of its patterns. Later additions in 18ct gold of the top plate and the sizing at the back. Stones have signs of wear - as would be expected 

Care - As a general rule - jewellery should not be worn for strenuous tasks that may put pressure, chemicals and weight on them (think cleaning, gym, swimming/spa, carrying things). Jewellery should be inspected every six months by a jeweller to check for wear.

FAQ

Sizing

What do we mean when we say a ring is "sizeable"? Well, most standard rings can be made bigger or smaller by up to three letter sizes. If we say the item is "moderately sizeable", this usually means about 1 size, and if we say it is "not sizeable" or that "sizing is not recommended" it will be due to the construction - it could be age related, pattern related, have enamel etc.

We can happily help with sizing of rings, so please do get it touch if we can give you a quote.

Current prices are: $40 for sizing down, $40 for rhodium plating (all white gold rings), and sizing up starts at $50 - and depends on the carat of gold, width of band and number of sizes. These are subject to change at any time and remain linked to the volatile changes in precious metals.
