Within the next few months I'm going to fabricate (cast) a gold pinky ring. Does anyone have any close-up photos of period pinky rings? I'd prefer to make mine with some sort of design. I know that pinky rings were relatively popular in society during the mid-1800s. Many were made of brass or were gold plated so, I know that my ring would be more suited for someone more affluent.
What about signet rings? They were popular with the European nobility, normally bearing the family crest. Would they be suited for a well-to-do soldier or citizen (in the States)? Does anyone have any good images of such rings? Any pointers or info would be very helpful.
