Gilt bronze, size 10 1/4. Broad flat band with integral intricately toothed key projection. These rings were used to open jewelry boxes, the ownership of which was prestigious. As a result, many were made for show only and worn where no such box existed. This one appears to be functional. Professionally refurbished with the gold overlay restored. Rare large size.
