Antique men's rings




Sometimes I feel more drawn to men's jewellery than women's - I like my accessories simple and bold. This year I inherited this special ring from my late dear Grandpa. It's a U.S. navy signet ring adorned with anchor & American eagles on each side. There's a few different stories behind the ring - my Grandpa was fought in WWII in the Australian army, so it wasn't originally his. I love the stories behind it and the imagery, but really it's sentimental and I love wearing it because it was his.

The rings for sale on Three Graces are similarly interesting. I can't quite believe the Hungarian silver 'ring of eons' c. 1450:
and this amazing crest ring c. 1930
Or perhaps a carved coral horses head stickpin?
