A ring was given by the man to the woman to bind the pledge and worn until the marriage. That practice is believed to derive from the custom of providing a bride’s price or dowry. This example is size 4 with an oval bezel with a beaded surround, flanked by an arrangement of 3 small bosses in foliage, on each side. Fine quality and crisply detailed indicating that it was made for a young person who perished soon after the betrothal. The 24karat gold surface restored and is gift boxed with a certificate of authenticity.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Royalty Rings","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45593384288453,"sku":"C5727","price":145.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0674\/9464\/1861\/files\/C5727A.png?v=1767726740","url":"https:\/\/royaltyrings.com\/products\/european-betrothal-ring-16th-17th-century-size-22","provider":"Royalty Rings","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
