Florentine Coin Ring – Rope frame

For the woman who wants the frame to speak as loudly as the coin inside it.

Expert craftsmanship meets history. This Florentine coin ring with rope frame showcases the historical Fiorino coin, 1.5 cm in diameter, framed by an intricate hand-twisted torchon border. This refined detail adds texture and brightness, elevating the classic coin design into a sophisticated statement piece. Available in solid 18k or solid 9k yellow Italian gold, struck with the corresponding millesimal mark and the registered Italian provincial hallmark that identifies authentic goldsmithing.

The torchon, the rope, was the bench masters' way of adding presence to a coin ring without adding stones. It catches light along its length the way a flat band cannot, and it gives the Lily of Florence inside a kind of medieval punctuation: a frame that says this object was made by a hand, not a press. The technique has been on the Ponte Vecchio since the Medici period, refined again after 1593 when the bridge became the official home of goldsmithing for the city, and it has not been mechanized since.

Hand-finished in the timeless tradition of the Ponte Vecchio, this 18k Italian gold ring embodies authentic Florentine goldsmithing in a single piece.

It is the bolder of the two coin rings. Worn alone, it is the only piece on the hand. Stacked, it sits between two plain bands and pulls focus quietly.

Sourced from the boutiques of Ponte Vecchio, Florence. Solid 18k or 9k yellow Italian gold, with the registered Italian provincial hallmark. DDP worldwide delivery, fully insured, duties paid before the ring leaves Florence. Perfect Fit Guarantee resizing included.
