Late Victorian Graduation Bands $595.00

This listing is for two separate and individually priced rings. Each of these extra-wide (5/16") late 19th-century cigar bands are cast in 14K rose gold and stamped with banner-like "'85" and "'95" insignias—that's 1885 and 1895. Each also bears a lofty Latin sentiment on the interior: "Virtute non Verbis" ("Deeds, not words") on "'85", and "Remigans Non Repens" on "'95." (The former is a US size 5.5 and the latter a US size 7, and we don't recommend sizing either of these rings to prevent warping of the various embellishments in the interior and exterior of the bands.)
