Link to the historical finger ring...
The zoomorphic Trewhiddle style design is typical for the Anglo-Saxon rings of the 8th and early 9th century.
The size of the Anglo-Saxon finger ring is approx. 3.4 cm at its longest point and 2 cm wide.
The finger ring is not closed at the bottom, but has parallel ends that overlap each other by about 1.5 cm.Thus, the diameter of the ring can easily be reduced or extended by a few ring sizes - this makes the Anglo-Saxon ring suitable for almost every finger with only three different sizes.
Ring sizes:
S = 17,3 mm - EU 53 - 56 / US 6.5 - 8
M = 19,3 mm - EU 58 - 63 / US 8.5 - 10
L = 21,3 mm - EU 64 - 69 / US 11 - 12.5
You can buy this finger ring in high-quality bronze or real silver-plated.
Alternatively, also available in 925 sterling silver (Please note the delivery time).

The Trewhiddle style is a distinctive style in Anglo-Saxon art, which takes its name from the Trewhiddle treasure discovered in 1770 in Trewhiddle, Cornwall. This treasure contained the most outstanding metalwork produced in ninth-century England and decorated in an animated, complex style. Trewhiddle ornamentation often used intertwined niello inlays and zoomorphic, plant and geometric patterns, which were intricately carved in silver. Famous examples of the Trewhiddle style are the Pentney hoard, the Abindgdon sword, the Fuller brooch and the Strickland brooch.
