Introducing a Distinctive 9ct Gold Vintage Black Jewelled Pinky Ring
Elegantly crafted, this striking signet ring features sleek collet-set oblong black jewel contrasting with ornate millegrained detailing and floral embellishments to the shoulders. The slim, curved band reflects its 1960s–70s heritage, blending American craftsmanship with timeless British style.Key Features
Vintage Glamour: The millegraining (a delicate beaded texture) and intricate floral motifs showcase artisanal goldsmithing techniques popular in retro designs.
Versatile Appeal: Unisex and adaptable, it channels both the refinement of Prince Charles’ signet rings and the boldness of Al Pacino's Michael Corleone aesthetic.
Gold Fineness: Although stamped with the American 10K purity disctinction and with the Poole maker's mark, this piece has been XRF tested and shown to be 9 carat or 375 gold (testing showed there was a +/- 3 sd tolerance equating to a 99.7% likelihood that the gold content was between 8.90 carats or 371 gold, and 9.07 carats or 378 gold).
Sizing: Currently in size K, this ring can be resized for a comfortable fit. Signet rings are typically worn on the ring or pinky finger, however the choice is yours.
Condition: As part of the circular economy, this item has been pre-treasured. Commensurate with the vintage, there is typical wear, with the jewel and gold showing light abrasion visible under magnification. The jewel is securely positioned, and overall the ring is in excellent condition, with both beauty and structural integrity.
Styling & Symbolism
Pair it with tailored suits for a touch of old-world sophistication or modern minimalist attire for contrast. The sparkling black jewel, symbolising strength and protection, adds depth to its retro allure, while the pinky placement nods to tradition—whether as a new "family heirloom", a statement of individuality, or homage to vintage Hollywood glamour.
A rare fusion of transatlantic heritage and timeless design, this ring is ideal for collectors and style enthusiasts seeking a conversation-starting piece.
