Vintage Mid-Century Promise Ring in 10k Yellow Gold

This mid-century men's promise ring in 10 karat yellow gold features a heart held in hands design with English/Irish hallmarks. The motif depicts two hands cradling a heart, rendered in three-dimensional relief that gives the symbol depth and detail.

At 10 karat, the gold has a slightly lighter color than higher karat weights but offers increased durability for everyday wear. The hallmarks indicate the ring was assayed in England or Ireland, adding documented provenance to the piece.

While originally designed as a men's ring, the sizing and style work equally well as a unisex piece. The warm yellow gold has developed the patina typical of mid-century pieces, giving it a lived-in character that new gold lacks.
