From Iris Apfel's personal collection: A glorious pig ring that steals the scene. Iris Apfel's Antique Silver Victorian Pig Ring is rendered in silver with paste (antiqued leaded glass rhinestones) and a mother of pearl tummy. He is so cute and lucky. In Victorian times, pigs symbolized luck and prosperity. 

Antique ring finds of a lifetime, from the jewelry collection of Iris Apfel: Renowned maximalist icon Iris Apfel traveled the world to find her best-of-the-best antique and vintage finds. Her special affinity for jewelry was unrivaled. Preserved in her personal collection were a highly unique selection of Georgian, Victorian and earlier antique diamond and gemstone rings, many of which were converted from incredibly rare brooches, earrings and other pieces. What's most amazing about these pieces--antique jewelry collectors know, often times, 100+ year old rings can be small or dainty. Not these! Many are oversized and take up ample finger space. Constructed of historically significant materials, they come with serious personality. This is living, rare, fashion history. Each ring is simply irreplaceable, a totally one-of-a-kind heirloom to enjoy for decades to come.

Wear with care: we are of the mindset that antique jewelry should see the world. Mix it with your modern jewels and your everyday necklaces. Just be mindful. Protect it from water and liquids, exercise, harsh outdoor activities and beauty products, chemicals and extreme temperatures.

Due to their authentic provenance and delicate nature, items from the personal collection of Iris Apfel are final sale and non-returnable. Each piece will arrive with a provenance card.
