Hand-carved from jewellers' wax and cast in sterling silver, this ring features a Latin word SALVE which means "welcome" or "hello".
Europeans or people travelling through the continent (or, say, England) might have seen such mosaics or cartouches on late 19th - early 20th century buildings - and of course, ancient examples of such are known.
As I used to live surrounded by architecture of early XX century Art Nouveau, I see a SALVE as something that bears an Art Nouveau esthetic twist. The silhouette of this ring bears this hint.
Non resizeable.
Unlike Salve 1, this ring is hollowed.
