Clipeus

This is a solid sterling silver, one of a kind, handcrafted chunky statement ring featuring an antique shield with gold plated top layer. The writing on the shield is illegible as it's worn off over time, but the date does appear to be 1909. The reverse features a sterling silver St John's medal with the year 1930. 

Created from 100% recycled silver (equal in quality to un-recycled silver.)

The ring has been given a rugged texture and is oxidised to give the texture depth. Expect inconsistencies, the ring is purposefully not as perfectly symmetrical as a machine made, mass produced ring might be... it is lovingly crafted by hand to be beautifully rustic, organic and raw. The height of the ring at it's widest point on the front is 17mm. The ring is a size R.5.
