This antique 18K (marked) lover's knot ring with hallmarks for Chester, 1912, is the most substantial lover's knot ring we have ever encountered in our years of collecting antique jewelry. We love everything about the ring, beginning with the solid feel of this chunky gold ring, to its hand forged sinuous intertwined bands of gold, some with charming incised flourishes. We also love the polished band that is over one quarter of an inche wide all around; the essence of solidity. The love knot motif was an important Victorian symbol of binding love, and its popularity continued through WWI. Our knot ring is a full three quarters of an inch in diameter with a wide band of 9 mm or 1/3 of an inch. The figural knot can be seen on the underside of the ring and is as beautiful as the front. Please note that this ring is suited to a medium to large hand. It weighs a solid 16.9 grams. This ring would make a fabulous wedding band or special anniversary gift to commemorate a meaningful and long lasting relationship. The ring is a size 10, but can be easily sized 1 or 2 sizes up or down.
