Description: The Duke and Duchess of Windsor - an important three coloured gold (not hallmarked) triple loop ring inscribed 'Darling ... Wallis ... 19.6'. The date refers to the Duchess's birthday of 19th June. The Duke wore two triple loop rings on the little finger of his left hand until his death. This ring is one of two rings sold by Sotheby's at the auction of the Duchess of Windsor's jewels on 2nd and 3rd April 1987 as Lot 168 described as 'A three coloured triple hoop ring in yellow, white and red gold, inscriptions indistinct; and another similar ring, indistinctly inscribed: Darling Wallis 19.6 (2) which fetched £18,000.
