A gorgeous antique rolled gold or pinchbeck ring, with clear glass paste stones in a flush mount setting.

With pretty scrolling detail and scalloped edges.

Dating to the early-20th Century, this ring is likely a salesman sample ring - a model example of a fine jewellery piece crafted in base metal to serve as an affordable prototype for jewellers and salespeople.

Sample rings were used to display the design and craftsmanship and allow customers to see the style and fit of a piece before ordering the final version in gold or another precious metal.

They are now collectable antique curios, and make wonderful, more affordable antique dress rings.

The ring is stamped on the inside with a maker's mark, WJH.

In nice antique condition. The stones do have some discolouration, and some wear to the facets. Please be sure to see all of the pictures.

UK Size - O
US Size - 7 1/4
