This vintage (pre 1973) signet ring is a classic example of the late 60s/ early 70s style. A chunky 4.57g of gold in a fabulous cast design. The wide sloping shoulders with the carved edge detail, the solid gallery with the vertical grooved detail that offers lovely shadows and patina build up. And then the star of the show - the sapphire. This natural oval sapphire is bright and blue teal in her colour display. The stone is shallow, where the lapidist has made the most of the natural stone shape and this has two great benefits, it allows lots of light through, and the size of the face suggests a much bigger stone than its carat weight will be (making it a more affordable piece)

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.
