This is an incredible vintage sterling silver (stamped) ring made in the 1960's by the renowned David Andersen company in Norway. This particular ring is from the David Andersen Saga Series, which was created in the 1960's. The pieces in this series are true-to-scale replicas of Viking jewelry that was made around 300 A.D. and was discovered in ancient burial grounds (and are now housed in a museum in Norway). I love the jewelry from this series and have a ring from it that I wear everyday.
The textured band wraps around the finger and then tapers into an adjustable back. The front of the ring is 6/16 inch tall. The ring is size 6.5, but due to the wrap around design in back could be stretched or tightened a half size up or down.

The David Andersen Company was founded in Christiania (now Oslo), Norway in 1876 (by David Andersen). Andersen (1842-1901) was a skilled gold and silversmith. Through the years, Andersen expanded his company and opened a second location in 1892. His son Arthur Andersen took over the business after David passed away in 1901. Arthur introduced the use of enameling, which was used to accent the gold and silver jewelry and holloware produced by the company. The enamel jewelry was a huge success and the company has become well-known for it. The company has remained a family business and is now run by members of the fourth generation (Uni and Jon David-Andersen). The David-Andersen Company is known for its high standards of workmanship and the quality pieces that they produce reflect these standards. hotsell
