The ring band features a plait-like pattern of two curved lines overlapping with one another and is finished with raised volutes decorating the shoulders. Good solid condition, wearable. Signs of wear consistent with age and use. Measurements: H 3.2cm x W 2.4cm Inside diameter: 1.9 cm Closest UK ring size: S Provenance: Purchased by the current owner in 2021.
