Endearing Smooth Signet 10-4-33

A rich and smooth oval ring, this piece is like a pat of butter for your finger (only so much better). There's something about a signet ring worn smooth like this that always tugs on our heart strings: the love that a previous caretaker had for this ring is evident in its wear, in the way that day to day life has left a beautiful smooth patina and just a suggestion of the letters that were once so carefully engraved. Slim, sleek, and utterly smooth, this is a piece you'll likewise reach for day in and day out. Tucked sweetly under the face and pressed snug against your skin is a hand engraved date - given the British origin, we'd wager April 10th 1933 (but we won't fight you if October 4th is your special day).

Good near-antique condition with wear in line with age and use, including loss of any engraved face and smoothing of outer surface, and very minor evidence of past resizing.
