Antique Australian 18ct Yellow Gold Band By Ingram Bros. Circa 1920
A wonderful piece of antique Australian history as wearable today as it was 100 years ago.
Crafted from 18ct gold which is that mellow not quite yellow but not quite rose hue, a colour that sits somewhere between the two.
Thick and solid at a heavy 6.36 grams, quite wide also at 4.5mm and ‘domed’ due to her thick construction.
We believe this gorgeous piece of Australian history could be the perfect sustainable choice for a wedding ring.. she may have lasted a full lifetime already but we guarantee she will last another.
