Heavy, smooth, and rich, this ring is an absolute dream. A soft yellow gold with rosy hues, the ring has the most wonderful weight on the hand and gently sloping comfort fit. It bears the 10k gold stamp for Ostby & Barton - for a time, the largest ring manufacturers in the world. Based out of Providence, Rhode Island, and founded in 1879, the business was thriving when Engelhart Cornelius Ostby and his daughter Helene took one of many trips to Europe in 1912. Booked in first class cabins for their return trip, father and daughter boarded the Titanic, but only Helene made it back to the United States. She would go on to join the family business (along with her brother and niece), and Ostby & Barton would continue to produce jewelry into the 1950s.

This ring would make an ideal wedding band, a simple every day ring, or the base to a peerless ring stack. It's been polished relatively recently, but will quickly build up a charming patina once again as you wear it.
