Victorian 18k Gold Victorian Band, "Aug. 19th 1888"

A band worn smooth by time, its surface bearing the gentle marks of a life well lived. This is no ordinary ring; it is a relic of devotion, a tangible link to a love story set in the Victorian era. Its warm, buttery gold has softened with wear, carrying whispers of hands held, letters written, promises made. Inside, an inscription marks the date, August 19th, 1888, a moment frozen in gold, a testament to a day that must have meant everything.

Crafted in solid 18 karat gold, this antique wedding band, inscribed 'Aug. 19th 1888.', measures 6.3 mm wide, with a thickness of 1.15 mm. It weighs 5.3 grams, hallmarked for 18K gold along with the maker’s mark "JMB." Over 135 years old, it remains a steadfast symbol of enduring love.

There is something deeply poetic about slipping a ring like this onto your finger. It carries history, sentiment, the quiet beauty of a piece that has outlived its original love story and is ready to begin another.
