DESCRIPTION (Please scroll to the bottom to view video)
Charming and early piece by one of our well known jewellery firms Stevenson Bros.
Modelled in 18ct rose gold with a delicate and quite Arts and Crafts themed pattern to almost the entirety of the ring.
Rosy in hue, smooth and silky once on the finger and hallmarked so beautifully for Stevenson, 18ct and the early lion passant and crown marks used quite extensively by early Australian jewellers in Adelaide.
This is a little gem of a ring, early, collectible in its own right but still as wearable today as it was over 100 years ago.

CONDITION
Very good antique condition. Pattern has faded somewhat and an early resize is apparent as there is a plain section measuring approx 10mm without engraving. This has been done early and very well and the resize is not obvious, and does not detract at all from this ring. Hallmarks are as new, very crisp and clear.
