You were born with ten fingers for a reason. The ancient Romans understood this. Following a period during which only senators and other high-status figures were permitted to wear gold rings, in the later years of the Roman Empire, that right was extended to all citizens. Soon, men and women alike were adorning their fingers with rings as symbols of dignity and wealth, sometimes heaping multiple rings on each digit.
Times and fashions have changed, but one thing remains constant: The inhabitants of the region we now call Italy sure know their gold. In fact, Italy’s jewelry-making tradition extends back to the Etruscan civilization around 700 B.C. Today, Italy’s gold artisans are world-renowned for their mastery in design and metalworking, and Stauer is proud to operate an office in Arezzo, the heart of the country’s gold-making tradition.
That’s how we were able to secure this exceptional ring. The Basketweave 14k Italian Gold Ring is an instant classic, with a wide shank displaying concentric rows of faceting for a ring that’s both eye-catching and refined.
Italy has set the gold standard for jewelry, and a ring like this could cost you an arm and a leg. But our prices mean you can afford to keep all of your limbs, and maybe even deck out your digits in the true Roman style.
