The romance associated with this pattern goes back generations. 

The orange blossom pattern has long been associated with the wedding ceremony and hence makes the most perfect wedding band. Symbolising innocence, chastity, purity, good luck, and fertility it is no surprise that this flower motif has been tied to the bride for literally centuries, seen as far back as ancient China and Persia. It has now morphed into a symbol of everlasting love, and given that the patten goes all the way around the ring, that symbolism runs deep in this ring.

The flower and leaf pattern is in pretty good nick for an old ring - it is still very clearly an orange blossom ring - but the edges have softened, and the leaves in particular have begun to lose their linear pattern. Such a lovely colour and patina and the ring has never been sized so the pattern is perfect.

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.
