A beautifully simple early Victorian wedding band dating to c.1840, crafted in 18ct gold and carrying Scottish provincial marks for Aberdeen. Its slim profile and softly rounded surface give it the understated look of an early gold wedding ring, with the warm antique gold showing the gentle character that comes with more than 180 years of wear.
The appeal here is in the simplicity and history of the piece. The narrow 1.5mm band sits comfortably on the finger, while the surviving Aberdeen provincial marks make it particularly interesting to collectors of early Scottish jewellery and regional goldsmithing.
Presented in very good antique condition with age-related wear consistent with its age. The band retains a pleasing shape and remains very wearable today as an antique wedding ring, stacking band or simple everyday gold ring.
