It was made for Caithness Glass - and has a sweet little millefiori glass gem as an embellishment.  The tiny paperweight is in faint hazy glass - with subtle colours of lilac and purple.  \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe ring comes with its original vintage Caithness Glass presentation box (rare to find boxed) - as photographed.  It is designed for a medium-large finger - and it is measured at a UK ring size R, as photographed. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe silver hoop of the ring is quite Brutalist in design. With a thicker silver hoop incised with little flecks. The ring is interestingly hallmarked for Birmingham (instead of Edinburgh) and with the date letter A for 1975. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs a fine piece of Scottish jewellery - it looks very stylish when worn - this Caithness Jewellery boxed rings are now hard to find.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs you can see from my images - it is nice and clean. It is listed at a fair price given it comes with its RARE original box. It would look nice with my Caithness Glass pendant also listed in my shop. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e HISTORY: \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThese pieces of silver jewellery were initially Paul Ysart’s idea. He had been making small ‘stones’ and setting them into cheap jewel fittings as presents for friends and family. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eCaithness Glass saw the commercial potential in them and put Colin Terris in charge of further development. The range was officially launched in December 1970. Colin Terris designed a range of brooches and pendants inspired by traditional Scottish designs and hired Lucia Polanski as jewellery designer; she produced the rings, earrings, and cufflinks designs.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Iconic Edinburgh","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39963007680576,"sku":"Sold for £50","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0271\/1902\/6240\/files\/vintage-1975-scottish-hallmarked-solid-silver-millefiori-caithness-glass-large-ring-size-r-cufflinks-463.webp?v=1781475913","url":"https:\/\/www.iconicedinburgh.co.uk\/products\/1970s-scottish-hallmarked-solid-silver-millefiori-caithness-glass-ring","provider":"Iconic Edinburgh","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
