EUROPEAN BETROTHAL RING 15th-17 CENTURY, SIZE 8 1/2

$155.00
During the Renaissance, the act of committing to marriage took place as a formal ceremony with vows, considered sacred and unbreakable, exchanged. A ring was given by the man to the woman to bind the pledge and worn until the marriage. That practice is believed to derive from the custom of providing a bride’s price or dowry. This example is size 8 1/4 with oval bezel with stippled recessed surround, flanked by a foliate arrangement with raised surrounds, each side. The band is 2.2mm flared to the shoulders. Worn from use and burial.  Professionally refurbished with the 24karat gold surface restored and gift boxed with certificate of authenticity.
