Two sisters, two years apart, and both have that deep, buttery glow that only the very highest carat gold has - the color of late afternoon sun.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThey have been worn smooth by lifetimes of love. No stones, no tricks, just honest high carat gold with softly domed profiles that feel like silk on the finger. This is the kind of ring you put on and never take off again.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBoth carry their Swedish hallmarks inside - the cat's paw and the 23K stamp, crisp after more than a century - along with the sweet old engravings that date them. If you love decoding those little marks as much as I do, you can read every Swedish mark at \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/hallmarksociety.com\/hallmarks\/sweden\"\u003eThe Hallmark Society\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWear one alone, stack them with what you already own, or - my favorite thought - give the sisters a shared home. I have written about the wonderful history of these rings here: \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.oldmineshop.com\/blogs\/journal\/wedding-band-vs-engagement-ring\"\u003eWedding Band vs Engagement Ring\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThey weigh around 4 grams each and both fit like a size 7.25 US. Choose your ring by her year - 1896 or 1898 - at checkout.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eExcellent condition with minor signs of age.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlease don't wait on these - antique high carat bands are the first thing to leave the shop, every single time.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Oldmine","offers":[{"title":"1896","offer_id":60618002006350,"sku":"AUC-5222921-1896","price":695.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"1898","offer_id":60618002039118,"sku":"AUC-5222921-1898","price":695.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1050\/3775\/8798\/files\/b12f90a34b17bf09d78fc58c4bbf9222.jpg?v=1788264441","url":"https:\/\/oldmineshop.com\/products\/antique-wedding-band-23k-gold-sweden-1896-or-1898-size-7-25-us","provider":"Oldmine","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
