Gentleman's Auction with Jonathan Soroff Online
Description:
Six Gentlemen's Rings, one of heavy brass with an aristocratic seal, one of carved stone, one with a glass eye encased in leather, a modern iron ring with dots, a snake-form ring, and a carved burlwood ring "Co. [Company] A.," sizes vary.
Note: "When it comes to jewelry, I'm a big believer in more is more and the bigger, the better. The trick is to wear it without looking like a wannabe rapper, a cheesy gangster, or a carnival barker. Each of these rings has some point of interest, and while large, they're unusual enough that they're more likely to provoke interest than disdain." - Jonathan Soroff
Estimate $50-100
