Indisputable British hallmarks for the year 1901 authenticates this impressive antique silver buckle ring that hails from the very year that the Victorian era ended.
Made by Pearce & Thompson, a firm located in Birmingham's historic jewellery quarter, the ring is crafted in a super comfy D-profile. Heavy gauge, chunky and wide in a larger finger size it provides wonderful finger coverage and with the detailing still crisp it promises years and years of enjoyment to come.
