this is a real classic!... once pretty common,, but not any longer,,especially with the 'gem' eyes.. The gem eyes are 99% always a 'cabochon cut' to them. This has the good detail, thin band and polished inner band..

This pattern has period adverts,,photos in wear,, many with good provenance...


This is a very early one with the hallmark in a rounded off rectangle.. An excellent example of the pattern....

- Great to see and study for the others,,,thanks much for posting..

Very nice indeed. Thanks for posting. Here's another one with plain eyes. I wear this ring every day.

Really like it, I had the plain version since many years but somehow was missing the variant with red eyes.

Thanks Gaspare. You're right. A few years ago, Gerd Hagedorn wrote an excellent article (in German) about Westwall Rings. He hasn't been around here for a while. I hope he's OK.

Here is the article:
