Vintage Avon Kensington Ring

Description
The Avon Kensington ring from the 1970s, a long oval signet in antiqued gold-tone with a single rhinestone set inside an engraved starburst. Black enamel fills the recesses behind a beaded border, giving the design the depth of a Victorian mourning ring reimagined for its era. The star at the center reads like a small compass point or a first evening star. A sought-after Avon design with an adjustable band.
