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?

'Forget me not' rings by Kiel Mead

There's more than a few designers around doing the whole 'jewellery-made-from-inanimate-objects' thing, but Brookyn-based Kiel Mead's Forget me not rings stand out. They're simple, stylish and witty, the mold crafted from a real tied piece of string then hand cast.
