Calling Scandia Silver collectors - these Australian rings are a bit niche - and this one is worn - but we could not let her go to the scrap heap. Just look at her character.
Scandia has been around and operating in the Yarra (near Melbourne) since 1953. These rings were designed and made in the 1960s - on a band of 5, 7, 9 or 11mm and with a veneer of 9ct gold over it (about 10%). This gold is now wearing thin - but it is still there. This ring is also one of the rings they set with 4 red spinels - all of which are still present and correct.
The ring features four diamond stylised patterns each with a red spinel. It is a lovely half round band and sings so hard of the 1960s.

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.
