Our 18K (stamped) four band Turkish style harem ring has four individual gold bands held together by an unassuming gold connector to create one stacking ring. Harem rings were first created as wedding bands in Turkey and later copied by jewelers in Europe and America.
The design of the ring with its back connector helps keep the stack of slender bands in order. The design of 4 bands in one ring also makes the ring wider and more substantial, it is like buying 4 stacking rings...

Late Victorian signet ring, hallmarked for the year 1907-1908 and monogrammed with initials WW or MM, carved to a polished gold face and set into a band with carved scrolled shoulders. The ring featured on this listing is modeled on the ring finger. We think it looks great with other signet rings or by itself. The ring is fairly large in scale at over a half inch wide and a half inches tall (1.4 cm North-South and 1.2+ cm East-West), US size 8 and size-able.

These rings, slides and tokens of rock crystal found throughout the late 1600's were transformed into a type of memorial jewelry...

nusual, rarely seen signet ring with a striking stone of banded agate. The ring has a very small cartouche stamp on the back, it could possibly be the harp indicated Irish origin. Banded agate is a form of quartz with parallel bands of black and white resulting from mineral deposits layering over time, thus the term “banded.” The carved scrolls along the sides are a distinctly Victorian feature, often seen on gold bands during this period and they help to date the ring...

Delightful Victorian hallmarked 1865 Birmingham multi-stone ring with two large diamond shaped garnets in the center, surrounded by emeralds and enveloped by a beautifully engraved 15K gold band on either end. We love the contrast in both size and color of the stones.
The final photos show how pleasing rings from this decade of 1860-1870 look together on the hand.
This ring is not sizeable because the band is engraved all around and sizing would ruin the engraved pattern...

Queen Anne period (1740) large beautifully faceted octagon cut amethyst solitaire ring in a later 18K gold band. This style of jewelry has been historically misnamed for Queen Anne, who reigned from 1695 to 1714, as so called Queen Anne jewelry dates to the mid 18th century.
Among other details, we love this ring for its eighteenth century octagonal shape, the quality of the amethyst and the crimped collet gold setting. Beautiful in its simplicity, this ring is sure to attract attention.
