VINTAGE 9CT YELLOW GOLD CHEVRON 'KEEPER' RING FROM ENGLAND. TACTILE DESIGN DETAIL. 375

This solid piece of English vintage jewellery is crafted out of 9ct yellow gold. This chevron design with its tactile detail is often referred to as a 'keeper ring' as it stacks with other rings, keeping them in snugly place on the finger. The back of the shank is polished yellow gold. The interesting texture is created by rows of small raised and rounded 9ct gold baubles worked into the gold. It weighs 2,6 gram and ring size 8 (Q in British and SA sizing). The ring bears the date hallmark for 1985, as well as the London Assay mark, the jeweller's signature and the 375 hallmark for 9ct gold. A true English collectable, "keeper rings" have been in vogue since the mid 1700's in England.
