We love 22ct bands, especially when they are lovely and heavy like this one. This one dates to 1930 and has all the signs of a ring well-loved. As is sometimes the case with bands like this, one side is rounded and one side is flattened off. Now, there is a possibility that the ring was originally designed like this to ensure it sat nice and flush next to another ring (most probably an engagement ring given these rings are traditionally wedding bands and this is a very small size so most likely belonged to a lady), however, most likely is that one side has slowly worn flat through years of being alongside another ring. This is particularly common in rings of a higher purity of gold like this one, as it is much softer. Despite being around for almost 100 years, this ring still has a great amount of heft to it. It has some marks and wear in line with a ring of this age, only adding to its charm in my opinion. I mean, that is why we love (almost) antique jewellery right? For its charm, it’s history. Whose love and union did this ring represent? What kind of lives did they lead? And most importantly, who is honoured enough to be its new caretaker?

Condition

All our jewellery is pre-loved, vintage or antique, which, by definition, is second-hand. It is not new. It has been worn for years, decades and in some cases a century or more. Most items will show signs of wear in line with their age and history, such as scuffs, scratches or dents. This should be expected and is part of the charm of second-hand jewellery. When describing our pieces we will call out any noticeable imperfections in the description and photos, please be sure to study them carefully before making a purchase 🖤

Shipping

For shipping information, see our Shipping section.

Packaging

We try to align our small business with the sustainability of buying pre-loved, vintage and antique pieces.

As some of you may remember, for a long while we packaged pieces in small aluminium tins that you can keep and reuse. This was to avoid as much packaging waste as possible. For various reasons, we now send items in branded cardboard jewellery boxes, carefully packaged in tissue paper and shipping boxes. These are recyclable, so we kindly ask you, where possible, to recycle or re-use as much of our packaging as possible ♽

If you would prefer to receive your piece in an aluminium tin then please do feel free to leave a note when you check out and we will do our best to accommodate.

We do sometimes have new and second-hand jewellery boxes available if you prefer. These will always be in an excellent second-hand condition. Please see our other products page for availability.

Please note: any boxes featured in product photos are props only and are not included in the listing for sale unless otherwise stated.

Returns

For our Returns policy, see our returns section.

Before purchasing, please be sure to read descriptions throughly, paying particular attention to dimensions and sizes. Please double check using a tape measure or ring sizer where applicable. Look carefully at all pictures and videos, and do not hesitate to reach out to us with any questions 🖤

Resizing & Alterations

For pieces that can be resized, whilst we can offer a resizing and alternations service, we do recommend that you carry this out with your local jeweller as this will always ensure you are happy with the alteration and size.

If you would still like us to assist, please feel free to contact us before purchasing so that we can provide an accurate quote.

Please note we cannot offer refunds for pieces that have been altered or resized.
