Wood \u0026amp; Sons, Circa Late 19th Century\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eSome rings carry a name. This one carries a legacy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eSigned by J.R. Wood \u0026amp; Sons, one of America's most respected gold jewelry manufacturers of the Victorian era, this wide 10K gold cigar band is a rare find for the discerning collector — a piece with traceable provenance, period-correct craftsmanship, and the quiet confidence of a ring made to last generations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eThe cigar band silhouette — broad, flat, and commanding — was the wedding band style of choice for Victorian-era Americans who favored bold, architectural goldwork over delicate ornamentation. At 6.9mm wide, this band strikes the perfect balance: substantial enough to read as a statement piece on the hand, refined enough to wear with both antique and contemporary dress.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eThe surface is divided into engraved floral panels, each intricately worked in the restrained, symmetrical style characteristic of late Victorian decorative sensibility. Floral motifs in this period carried deep symbolic weight — fidelity, beauty, renewal — making engraved wedding bands of this style both personal adornments and encoded love tokens. The engraving remains crisp and well-preserved, a testament to the quality of the original goldwork.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eThe maker's mark — J.R. Wood \u0026amp; Sons, New York — was stamped on fine karat gold jewelry from the 1880s onward, and rings bearing this signature are actively sought by collectors of American antique jewelry. To find one with intact engraving and a legible hallmark is increasingly uncommon.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eOffered as found, in excellent antique condition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEra:\u003c\/strong\u003e Late Victorian Circa 1890\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMetal:\u003c\/strong\u003e 10k solid rose gold\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 6.9mm wide x 1mm thick\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFinger Size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 8.75 (not sizable)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2.6 Grams\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFeatures:\u003c\/strong\u003e engraved pattern with a rustic feel from age; sturdy and suitable for stacking or solo wear\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOrigin: \u003c\/strong\u003emakers mark Wood \u0026amp; Sons NY Jewelers, the ring is off round due to age \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Vintage Vault","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53394966544698,"sku":"TB0223","price":825.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0842\/7398\/7898\/files\/petra-star-antique-gold-band-engraved-floral-panels-detail.jpg?v=1777739657","url":"https:\/\/petrastar.com\/products\/antique-victorian-10k-gold-fancy-wide-cigar-band-wedding-ring-j-r-wood-sons","provider":"Petra Star","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
