She is the kind of ring that looks like it costs a fortune and feels like a warm handshake.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eShe is a so-called Vasterbotten ring - the traditional bridal ring of Sweden's far north, where the bands were made wide, the borders were stamped with little zigzag garlands, and hearts were set marching around the middle. A whole region's way of saying love, in one piece of gold. My example carries the full Swedish suite inside - the cat's paw, the 18K stamp and the date letter for 1999 - and 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\u003eAnd the hearts! Big, calm, open hearts - the oldest love symbol there is, and I have written about what they mean in jewelry here: \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.oldmineshop.com\/blogs\/journal\/heart-jewelry-meaning\"\u003eHeart Jewelry Meaning\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe band tapers like a classic cigar band, so she sits wide and confident on the finger without ever feeling clumsy. She weighs around 5 grams and fits like a size 7.5 US.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eExcellent condition with minor signs of age - and full honesty as always: there is a trace of a previous resizing on the back of the shank. You will never see it when she is on.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlease don't wait on this one - wide gold cigar bands are among the most asked-for rings in the shop.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Oldmine","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":60376004821326,"sku":"AUC-5281001","price":775.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1050\/3775\/8798\/files\/c603e5bcf98eb2ed18afda2f0440127d.jpg?v=1788190724","url":"https:\/\/oldmineshop.com\/products\/vintage-heart-cigar-band-ring-size-7-5-us-18k-gold-sweden-1999","provider":"Oldmine","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
