Antique Wexel Sterling Wedding Band Ring - Wedding Bells - Flowers - Size 7



An antique Edwardian H. Wexel sterling silver wedding band ring. 
Wedding bells and flowers go all the way around the ring. Very pretty. 
Marked "STERLING" and also marked with the Indian Chief Head 
hallmark of H. Wexel & Co.. NOT a heavy band at all. The ring is 
a size 7. I do not recommend trying to re-size this ring, as it will 
disrupt the pattern's flow. This ring dates to around 1900. 
H. Wexel & Co. was in business from the 1880s to 1907. I have sold 
some Uncas wedding bands from the 1930s with a very similar pattern. 
So the Wexel band pre-dates them.

Measurements:
Size: 7 (Please keep in mind that wider bands fit somewhat smaller)
Width: 5/16"
Weight: 2 grams

Condition:
---There is some wear to the ring due to age. 

Please keep in mind that colors will vary slightly on different devices. 

All jewelry comes gift boxed.

A beautiful antique Georgian wax seal fob or pendant. Early 19th century. It 
has a beautiful ornate hand chased floral design. Flowers and leaves. I have

I cannot make out what the seal depicts. I see it being everything from a flower 
basket, a man on a horse...to a cannon. It also has some traces of red paint 
behind the seal. Most of the paint is gone. This piece dates to around 
1800 to the 1820s.
