Dreamy Engraved Vintage 22k Band

For millennia, the precious metal has been associated with with the glow and power of the sun, and high karat gold makes the connection clear. The saturated hue has a beautiful warmth and shine.

Gold alloys are softer in higher karats, so this old ring has developed some lovely wear over its lifetime with all the little scratches and dings that can't be replicated in a modern piece. The engraved pattern looks like a modern, minimalist take on a classic wheat sheaf pattern, which was a very popular motif in the art deco period, and even earlier. The pattern was often selected for wedding bands for its representation of prosperity, fertility, and the bounty of the earth.

Very good vintage condition with moderate wear in line with age and use.
