“A dandy is a man who wears clothes, a man whose trade, office, and very existence consist in the wearing of clothes. Every faculty of his soul, spirit, purse, and person is heroically devoted to this one purpose: wearing clothes wisely and well—so that while others dress to live, he lives to dress.” This is how Thomas Carlyle describes the dandy in his 1834 work Sartor Resartus—that well-dressed gentleman who made his first appearance on the streets of major cities in the early 19th century. His appearance became his very being; his existence, a work of art of his own creation. And, of course, a good wardrobe has always included a beautiful piece of jewellery—in the 19th century just as much as today. But since most pieces of jewellery are reserved for women—often much to the chagrin of those gentlemen who appreciate a bit of shine and sparkle—we are particularly pleased to present here a men’s ring that, according to its hallmark, was crafted in Birmingham in 1917. The ring, crafted from a typical British 15-karat gold alloy (625/000), features a red garnet set in the center. The gemstone, cut into an oval cabochon, is set flush with the gold, making the ring comfortable to wear. The ring’s simple design is characterized by luxurious understatement, making it particularly appealing. The ring is in wonderful condition, freshly polished, and remains a stylish accessory today just as it was in 1917.
