《1979 Birmingham Amethyst Silver Ring, UK》
This silver ring is set with a bright, clear, gemstone-cut amethyst. Its delicate band, reminiscent of flower petals or a radiating star, cradles the stone, which is said to enhance the wearer's wisdom and social grace.
Amethyst has long been favored by royalty and nobility in Western culture. It is also recognized as the birthstone for February and the traditional gem for a sixth wedding anniversary. The inside of this ring displays complete Full English Hallmarks, attesting to its sterling silver purity, as verified by the Birmingham Assay Office. The presence of the letter 'E', denoting the year 1979, and the registered location of the assay office make this an exceptionally rare find. The maker's mark 'P&RB' belongs to P&R Bushell, a jewelry manufacturer based in Birmingham, a significant hub for British jewelry. Company records indicate its establishment in 1970, and information can be found online.
It's truly captivating how these small marks reveal the ring's history, like a secret code within the band, an unspoken language for antique enthusiasts. If this piece speaks to you, do not hesitate. Vintage items with complete hallmarks are becoming increasingly scarce, and each piece possesses unique wear, making it truly one-of-a-kind. Missing this opportunity may lead to a deeper sense of regret.
This ring is a pre-owned vintage piece, acquired from an antique shop in the UK. It features a clear, natural amethyst, and the silver shows minimal signs of wear consistent with its age. Please message us for additional photos. All our pre-owned/vintage silver jewelry has undergone gentle cleaning, but we refrain from aggressive polishing to preserve the intrinsic value of these antique treasures.
