A beautiful early Victorian engraved band made to create the illusion of three rings.
In the centre we have rows of pansies and to the outer bands, half moons each with a fleur-de-lis in the middle. The combination of the pansy (symbolising love) and the fleur-de-lis (symbolising loyalty and fidelty) leads me to believe that this will have originally been made and worn as a wedding band.
A really wonderful ring.
The colour of the gold is soft warm and rosy. There is a historic sizing mark which has been well done and doesn't look out of place and the ring cannot be resized further.

Condition - excellent overall condition. There is evidence of a past resize where a piece has been added to make the ring slightly larger and while I wouldn't recommend a resize on a ring of this style, it has been done well and is unnoticible in wear if worn to the bottom. Please see photos.

All of my pieces are at the very least pre-owned and most of them are vintage or antique. This item is not brand new and as such, will not look brand new. Please expect signs of wear to include kinks in links, surface wear to gold, scuffs to stones and accept this as part and parcel of buying second hand jewellery. I will be as clear as I can with item descriptions and condition statements and aim to make sure you are aware of any potential defects before you buy. Please study the photos carefully as they form part of the condition statement.
