An extra-wide Victorian era cigar band ring (11.4 mm), fabricated in 10k rose gold and hand-engraved with a beautiful sparrow. This sparrow is captured, mid-song, perched amid sprays of foliage and charming five-petaled flowers. The long, expressive strokes that define our bird friend's wings and tail, animating him by implying movement, are a testament to the engraver's skill. We love the sweetness of this engraved image, along with its graphic (almost tattoo-style) quality. This would make a wonderful wedding band.

This ring can be resized (down to US 7, which will fit like 6 1/4). Resizing for this ring is complimentary (just leave your desired size in the notes at checkout). Resizing larger is possible, but the material added would not be a perfect match for the color of the band.

Notes

There is an un-engraved area at the base of the ring shank— this undecorated area makes resizing possible. This ring has never been resized, but because this it was fabricated (not cast) there is a mark on the inside of the ring, where the ends were originally joined.
