Seller's Note/ Due to wear on this ring, it was worn by the owner for many, many years and, perhaps passed down from father to son.. We surmise it was worn by a man over a thin glove or someone with large fingers for the era, and possibly as a signet to seal documents, letters, etc.

The purity of the 'Fleur-de-Lis' or Lily Flower was, and still is, the symbol of the Virgin Mary.
