Sentimental mid-century solid gold wedding band ring with forget-me-not flower design:
~ Loaded with personality, romantic, sentimental, and midcentury details
~ Features deep intaglio forget me not flowers alternating with a sweeping three leaf design
~ Set against a classic Florentine cross hatched mcm background pattern (A florentine finish a cross-hatched pattern, typically tooled directly into the surface of the metal. Because it is engraved into the metal, it is often coarser and a bit deeper and thus more durable than a brushed finish)
~ Gently curved or comfort wear exterior profile
~ Has many good years of wear and enjoyment to offer if the next owners cherish and preserve it as well as the previous custodians have
~ Originally intended to be a mans wedding band ring I believe - it is completely unisex and perfect for anyone who loves it
~ Stand out statement piece all on it's own or would be gorgeous stacked up with other favorite rings also
Ready and waiting for your finger, wardrobe, special outfit or day, collection or gift giving - you will love this!
AGE OR ERA: True vintage / antique jewelry piece - In 1902 a Mr. Kirchner and a Mr. Renich started a jewelry company in Minnesota. “K and R” became their “Kaynar” trademark. The family company lives on today as Kirchners Kaynar Diamond Company, or simply Kirchner’s or Kirchner's Corp, in the Minneapolis area. Their motto is “A CENTURY OF TRUST… A LIFETIME OF QUALITY” - and this sure "rings" true here. I am guessing this to be mid-century in era - 1940's 1950's to 1960's. The forget me not flower pattern was wildly popular during the 1940's WWII era.
