English Arts & Crafts Pink Art Glass Silver Ring Hammered

We were at a drive-in movie theatre on a thick summer night, the stars were out, the moon was waning. My Little Chicadee played on the silver screen, his arm was draped over my shoulder.

That’s quite the ring you have there, Victoria.

Oh this? A handsome man gave it to me.

He has good taste.

He gets it from me.  

He was concerned it might be too conventional for you. But, who says conventional has to be boring?

I held up my hand so the light from the projector could catch the opals just right. I thanked him for my ring, admiring the glimmer, right before stealing the rest of the salty popcorn.

This antique opal ring was handcrafted in Chester, England in 1906. It’s an Edwardian piece, made in 18 karat gold with five round cabochon cut opals across the ring face. The largest opal can be found at the center, it measures 6 x 5.4 x 2.6 mm. This ring is a size 8 and it weighs 3.7 grams. The ring face measures 8.6 mm north to south and 20.1 mm across. It sits 5 mm off the finger and the band width is 2.1 mm at the back. It bears the date letter mark, “f”, the gold purity mark, “18”, and the assay mark for Chester.

The opal is the most shimmering of stones, in my professional opinion. They’re every color of the rainbow, and I swear they invent colors we’ve never seen before.

I took this ring apart under the allusion I’d be able to put it back together again with the utmost of ease. Unfortunately, for me and my ego, it took two other people to figure out how to place the six bands back together. Needless to say, this challenging ring’s beauty made up for the surprise challenge and I wore it for the rest of the week. Of course, the celebratory champagne after figuring out this puzzle, helped. This ring is stunning when in place, a circle of six rings, woven together in unity, like a masterpiece made for the finger.

This Edwardian gold puzzle ring was handcrafted around 1910 in England. It’s a size 11 and weighs 11.0 grams. It’s reminiscent of a love-knot ring and measures 13 x 18 x 4 mm off the finger. The band width is 6 mm at the back. It bears the gold purity mark, “18K”.

Not much is known about the history of these puzzle rings. It’s believed that it was developed as an elaborate version of the gimmel ring, which grew to popularity in the 1600’s. A gimmel ring consists of two interlocking bands. The bride would wear one hoop, and the groom the other, upon their engagement. On the wedding day, the bands would join together as one as a symbol of eternal love.

The elephant is a powerful symbol, seen in ancient religions, mythology, and cave art dating back 12,000 years. It’s an intelligent creature, representing strength, power, and wisdom. The elephant can also represent good luck, so why not take this delightful elephant and carry it around on your finger all day?

This charming elephant ring was handcrafted in the 1960’s. This piece features an elephant with its trunk as the main attraction, as it reaches all the way around the finger and forms the band. The ring face measures 19.5 x 21 x 8 mm off the finger. It has an unknown maker’s mark and the silver fineness mark, “Sterling”. It’s a heavy piece, weighing 16.3 grams, and it is a size 7.25 US.

There is a theory which attests that elephants view humans as cute and adorable, much like how we look at puppies or babies. True or untrue, I’m a huge fan of this delightful hypothesis. There is no doubt that there’s a special bond between mankind and elephants, blame it on the relationship we’ve fashioned with the creature over the past few thousand years.

I needed something comfortable, but not too casual. Something timeless, but never trendy. So, I slipped into this ring, it’s a relaxed fit, like a leather jacket for the finger. The sapphire is the goldilocks of scandal, the ideal balance of rebellion and going with the flow. It gives them just the right amount of something to talk about, but not too much. Rumors should stay mysterious, after all.

This Belle Epoque ring was handcrafted in France around 1900. A beautiful sapphire is accented with three diamonds, all set in 18 karat gold. The round sapphire measures 4.5 x 4.5 x 3 mm and weighs approximately .44 carats. The old European cut diamond measures 4.3 x 3.8 x 2.9 mm and weighs approximately .28 carats. The other two diamonds are rose cut stones. The ring face measures 9 x 10.5 x 4.4 mm off the finger and the band width is 1.4 mm at the back. This ring is a size 6 and it weighs 1.8 grams. It bears a faded French maker’s mark and has been acid tested.

A ring like this gets noticed, in all the good ways of course. For an engagement, an anniversary, or that gift you give yourself because you most certainly deserve it, you’ll be satisfied, I promise.
