This is a sweet vintage 1970s silver hallmarked ring. It was made for Caithness Glass - and has a sweet little millefiori glass gem as an embellishment.
It is designed for a more slender finger - and it is measured at a UK ring size N, as photographed. The ring has an Edinburgh hallmark with the date letter C for 1977. It is stamped CJ - for Caithness Jewellery.
As a fine piece of Scottish jewellery. It does not have its original retail box - but will be sent in a good quality ring box. This is reflected in my asking price.
As you can see from my images - it is nice and clean. It will have to be sent to you in a sturdy outer box as a small parcel. This will be applied to your order at the checkout.
HISTORY: These 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.
Caithness 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.
