Victorian Rose Gold Cigar Band

I love these patterned Victorian bands; they're becoming impossible to find, especially in great condition. This one, circa 1900, is crafted in solid 12k rose gold, featuring a chased scroll design against a richly stippled backround.

It's perfect as a solo statement and also offers unique texture to compliment your daily ring stack.

Rings of this type were popular at the turn of the last century, commonly sold via catalogues like Montgomery Ward or Sears, often marketed as "cigar bands" after the beautifully patterned paper bands on cigars of the era.

Details: Measuring approximately 7.61 mm wide or a hair over 1/4". Not marked for gold content but XRF tests to solid 12k (a common late 19th century alloy) Weighs approximately 4.2 grams.

Size: The ring hits the mandrel at size 5 3/4, however due to the width it will most likely feel about a size smaller. Not resizable.

Condition: In beautiful antique condition with the rich warm glow and smooth silky feel that antique gold pieces with at least 100 years under their belt seem to acquire. There are a couple of light marks and a rich patina, please see photos as they are the visual part of the description.
