| Beautiful pair of antique napkin rings for man and wife, Jens and Ingeborg, apparently a Norwegian couple. Simply decorated with bands of fine beading and ribbed. Marked "sterling 58." Very heavy for napkin rings. 138 grams sterling silver. 1 7/8 by 1 3/8. Condition: The outsides just have normal use. One has a scratch inside the ring as shown. There were obviously more than one couple with these names but I thought this wikipedia article interesting... Jens and Ingeborg Cold House of Stoughton, Wisconsin, 1858, is on the National Register of Historic Places. Jens Cold imigrated from Norway in 1854 and married Ingeborg in 1860. |
