An incredibly evocative Georgian treasure, this wedding ring is made of solid 22 carat gold and dates to around 1820. It’s a stunningly slim band that melts right onto the finger but doesn’t hide away for its diminutive size. It has some of the best age patina around, an authentic quality only possible through centuries of wear and giving a glassy, magical lustre to the surface of the gold, as if you can see right through it. Most of the hallmark has been lost over the course of its 200 years of wear but it retains the lion passant that denotes solid gold, and King George’s head, enabling us to date it quite accurately. There is evidence of an old resizing but it’s strong and wearable, and along with the patina and various micro scratches and bumps, only adds to the impression of interacting directly with history and the privilege that is being able to continue its thread. A genuine treasure, becoming rarer by the day. It’s a size 6.25 resizeable, is 1.3mm wide and weighs just 0.7 grams.
