Description
Celebrate Illinois’ legacy with this charming ring, reinvented from a vintage sterling silver souvenir spoon originally crafted to honor the “Land of Lincoln.” This piece, created by The Bell Trading Post—an iconic American silversmith known for its high-quality, southwestern-inspired jewelry since the 1930s—is hallmarked with “Sterling” and the Bell makers mark, affirming its authenticity and craftsmanship.
The ring proudly highlights key symbols of Illinois’ heritage: the year 1818, marking Illinois’ admission as the 21st state in the Union, symbolized by the number 21 within the star. These details pay tribute to the state’s long-standing significance in American history, from its role in Abraham Lincoln’s life and legacy to its vibrant cultural and architectural contributions, including Chicago’s claim as the birthplace of the modern skyscraper.
Sized to fit an Australian size M, this ring is perfect for vintage enthusiasts, history lovers, or anyone drawn to meaningful, one-of-a-kind jewelry. The piece blends Illinois heritage with the craftsmanship of The Bell Trading Post, making it a wearable piece of history and an unforgettable addition to any collection.
