Vintage Uncas Sterling Wedding Band Ring - Wedding Bells - Flowers - Size 5



A vintage Uncas 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 Uncas hallmark. NOT a heavy band at all. The ring is a size 5. I do not recommend 
trying to re-size this ring, as it will disrupt the pattern's flow. This ring dates to the 
1930s to 1940s.

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

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