Ruth Garrido Vila

Selected by Ruth Garrido Vila

The ring band is large, narrowing towards the back and is also decorated, featuring a raised trefoil on both sides and engraved decorations of foliage on the sides. Good solid condition, wearable. Signs of wear consistent with age and use. Measurements: H 3cm Inside diameter: 2.2cm Closest UK ring size: S Provenance: Purchased by the current owner in 2021.
