What do you see when you look at this amazing sculptural ring? A shell? A fan? Some amazing staircase? Water lapping onto a beach? Even the back of a Spinosaur (or is that just our 6 year old boys?) This ring is in the style of a well known brand piece - so it is no wonder it is super elegant and refined. 

With chunky 14ct gold like this, who needs a stone? The gold is magnificent in the way it twists and curves and every attention to detail has been made at the crest of the wave where the gold flows seamlessly over from one side to the other.

The back of the ring is chunky and plain - a solid half round band which is super comfortable. Although it says R on the mandrel this ring fits my S finger nicely and I think it is because of the cavernous back of the face that allows some of my finger to rise into it.

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.
