Larter & Sons was a prolific maker of cufflinks and other gentleman's accessories during the late 19th century and through much of the 20th century. Their output ranged from fine gold and gem-set cufflinks and dress sets to less expensive, but equally well made, cufflinks and accessories crafted in base metal.
In the early 1920s the firm created a wonderful collection of handsomely designed, finely crafted men's rings reflecting the motifs and architecture of past historic periods. These rings were announced to the jewelry trade with a series of graphically striking advertisements that matched the beauty and theme of the rings. Below is the advertisement for Larter's ring inspired by the Classical Revival of the late 1700s - a period the jeweler characterized as an "age of utmost charm and refinement."
A full size rendition of this advertisement can be viewed at Larter & Sons - Classical Revival Ring. Over the next several weeks I will post the advertisements for the other Period Rings.
