Antique-Inspired Vintage Keeper Ring 15"

Antique-Inspired Vintage Keeper Ring 15"A late 20th century ring inspired by a beloved Victorian style, that itself took cues from further antiquity, this gold band is styled as what is typically known as a "keeper" ring. It's debated whether the name and function comes from a practice of giving the simple, though often woven, gold bands as a pre betrothal ring to indicate your intended is a keeper, or as a less expensive ring worn on top of the betrothal ring to keep it in place either
