This conversion ring features a plum colored glass intaglio with the word 'Monday' carved in reverse. This would have been used as a seal; when pressing it into soft wax, the word would be legible. Used to seal one's correspondence and to sign or label important documents, it has a very practical use. Having found the intaglio with no setting, a beautiful 18 karat gold shank was designed by Elle: "Our fantasy at the Curio is that every jewelry lover can own a jewel (or 12!) that bridges the past into the present day. Curio fantasy jewels are just that: objects that marry a historical object, with Elle’s imagination towards how they should enjoy the next leg of their lives – creating a new situ for a historical object to be enjoyed within!" The perfect ring to extend your weekend!
