Vintage 14kt Gold Diamond Engagement Ring By J.R. Wood & Sons (a.k.a. - ARTCARVED)

This ring has a series of numbers (472765) inscribed on the inside of ring which might be a serial number, but we are uncertain what it exactly indicates. The ring weighs approximately 1.6 grams or 1.03 dwt.

It’s a clear, brisk morning in Brooklyn, and the year is 1850. A man named J.R. Wood strolls down the Atlantic Avenue sidewalk alongside his two grown sons, stopping to unlock the doors to an unassuming little shop. That little shop would be the beginnings of a jewelry brand called ArtCarved.

J.R. made arguably the best gold and platinum jewelry at the time for the fine folks of New York City. This was all well and good, but it was his first engagement ring, the Victoria (named after Queen Victoria), that put his shop on the map and secured the long future of his company.

Forty years later (1890’s) we had another breakthrough with the development of the first seamless soldered rings. It was the roaring 20’s when the name ArtCarved became a reality with their ability to create carved designs in exquisite detail. No other jewelers could do what they did, and they were able to branch out from wedding jewelry into class rings.

They were still trendsetters nearly a century after those first days in Brooklyn. Many of the millions of American men fighting in the European and Pacific theaters of World War II wore an ArtCarved wedding band on their left hand—a deeply meaningful piece of home to remind them who they were fighting for back home.

In 1996, ArtCarved wanted to expand and celebrate life’s other special moments with a more colorful range of personalized fashion jewelry. Their legacy of quality, craftsmanship, and style hasn’t diminished since those first humble days in Brooklyn, and they look forward to helping customers keep the important moments close at hand for years to come.
