Antique "5-29-17" 1910s platinum and 22K wedding band
A WWI-Era platinum and 22K gold-lined wedding band engraved for a wedding on May 29th, 1917. We can assume that the lives of this couple were most definitely impacted by the U.S. entry into WWI, which occurred about two months prior to their wedding. This band features a faded orange blossom pattern with engraved sides. The interior is engraved for the couple and their wedding date.
Note: During WWI, platinum was identified as a "strategic metal" and all U.S. supplies were redirected to the war effort beginning mid-1918. This prohibition contributed to the rise in popularity of white gold and palladium as platinum substitutes in jewelry.
Measurements: Size 7 US, 3mm wide, 3.9 grams
Era: Edwardian, 1910s (1917)
Markings: Hallmarks for H. & Co., 22K and a personal engraving
