A vintage ring inspired by a beloved Victorian style, that itself took cues from further antiquity, this gold band is styled as what is typically known as a "keeper" ring. It's debated whether the name and function comes from a practice of giving the simple, though often woven, gold bands as a pre-betrothal ring to indicate your intended is a keeper, or as a less-expensive ring worn on top of the betrothal ring to keep it in place - either way, the keeper ring generally came to be what we now consider the wedding band. The woven or braided style harkens back to early, pre-goldsmithing rings, made of woven reeds or leathers. While the style is no longer among the most popular as a wedding band, they're detailed enough to wear alone or a beautiful touch of texture and depth in a ring stack.
Very good vintage condition with wear in line with age and use, including a lovely rich patina and minor evidence of past resizing.
Details:
• 9k yellow gold, with British hallmarks for London 1981, maker's mark BJ
• Size 5 and can be resized within 1.5 sizes
• Face of ring is 8mm wide, 16.5mm across, with a rise of 2.6mm; back of band measures 2.7mm wide and 0.6mm thick
• 2.8g
