1971 "Wood Bark" Signet Ring

US Shipments
US Customs now charges a 10% tariff on all UK shipments as they cross the border.
We will pay this charge on your behalf and you will see it collected as a line item at checkout.
The tariff is currently set at 10%, however this may change over the coming days as Trump's "Liberation Day" tariffs have been ruled unlawful by the Supreme Court. Exactly what Trump will do next is, of course, unclear. His messaging over the past few days has been typically bizarre and erratic.

Condition
We offer detailed and accurate condition reports on each listing. These pieces are antique, vintage, or pre-loved and often over 100 years old so they're going to have lived a life. A healthy patina and the odd scuff or scrape is quite normal... it's part of their charm! Everything we present has been checked over by our jeweller and should be good for wear for many years to come (unless otherwise stated) but please remember to treat them with appropriate care and consideration for their age.
