Vintage African American Woman Sterling Silver Ring - Size 8 1/2

ayquebella.com

Wow! Wow! Wow! This is an absolutely stunning and massive, solid sterling silver ring of an African-American woman with an equally stunning Edwardian, Gibson Girl, topknot chignon hairstyle. This timeless ring depicts the beauty and grace contained in the profile of an African-American woman wearing her natural crown in all its glory. Her voluminous natural hair is meticulously sectioned and delicately twisted and/or coiled into a pinned back updo style atop her regal head. This type of high-dressed hairstyle was popular with women of the Edwardian and Victorian eras as it highlighted the volume and length of the wearer’s hair.

And look carefully at her features! She is clearly an African American beauty with an iconic, turn-of-the-century natural hairstyle. This naturalista is a perfect and on-point representative of the natural hair movement and this representation is deliberate and demonstrative in the lucid, visual artistry by the unnamed artisan.

This fantastic ring of Black Americana is coated with a very slight, almost undetectable, natural patina and is a bold and very attractive conversation starter as it displays from your finger. This ring shows very little signs of wear and aging considering its age and is an intentional statement of Black hair history and pride!
