These gold-plated pewter rings are made exclusively for The Tudor Tailor by Steve Millingham. The quatrefoil design with a central table cut stone is typical of the Tudor period and can be seen in the portraits of Henry VIII, Jane Seymour and Catherine Parr, to name but a few. Rings of this design continued to be worn by both men and women of the elite class right the way through the century. Diamonds and rubies were two of the most popular precious stones at the time and we have therefore chosen to offer a choice of either lab-made ruby or cubic zirconia to represent these.
The rings are currently only available in two sizes, however the manner of wearing rings in the sixteenth century on any finger or thumb (apart from the index finger) allow a degree of flexibility with fit. (The 3rd and 4th photos in this listing give a sense of the difference in size between a large and small ring.)
Please note, this listing is for a large 'ruby' ring, 23mm in diameter. (The image of the hand wearing a ring with a clear stone is merely intended to give a sense of scale.) Please see our other listings for other ring options.
