Gents Scottish Thistle
Ring

This Scottish Thistle ring is Celtic
made in the USA. The old way. Lost wax casting, the way they
used to be made when there was no regard for cost. It is heavy.
Hand polished. Lots of gold. Lot's of hand labor. Every time
you pick up a breakable glass or coffee cup, you will hear that
'clink' and know you have a serious ring on your hand! When you
shake hands in business or friendship, the other guy is going
to feel it and look. Do not be alarmed if he does not let go
right away. He is only wondering if you have to be Scot to wear
a ring like this!
The design was kept simple. Just massive.
The face of the ring is done in an oval signet style. It 3/4"
tall and 5/8" wide or 19x16mm. The thickness of the oval
is 3.5mm, the sides 3mm and the very back 2mm. The ring had to
be thick in order to carve the design in reverse. The background
is carved out leaving the design raised. This is human artist
carved and not done by a CAD computer program. While a CAD may
create a perfectly symmetrical design, it is against the ancient
Celtic code.
These are made to order and will take
3-4 weeks. They can be easily sized as the back is left highly
polished without pattern. The white gold is done in excess of
the European Union Nickel Directive. It is a blend known as X1
and will Hallmark at any Assay Office as the gold content exceeds
14kt or .585
The ring in the photo shoot is a size
11 and weighs 18.4gms
Sizes larger than 12 will cost $35 additional
per size.
