Recently, Mrs Smith was kind enough to share the story of her mother’s ring which was purchased from us around 1943, which she recently brought in to be refurbished.

Eric and Isobel Caulfield (first photo) married on 6 October 1945 in Port Glasgow.
Still stored in the original box (second photo), the ring was lovingly restored by our jewellers and is ready to be passed on to her daughter, ensuring the ring is cared for over three generations.
