Two overlapping Vs, scratched into an English house at the end of the 16th century. A Christian sign, and we describe it as one.
English Heritage volunteers mapped marks of two overlapping Vs at Gainsborough Old Hall in Lincolnshire, a house owned by William Hickman from 1596. They were found alongside circles, a pentangle and a “curse” inscription with the owner’s name written upside down.
From the first pencil line to the piece we make today. Narrated in English, with subtitles.
Every tier keeps the symbol whole and true to its source.
925 sterling. A thin outer ring holding two whole Vs, four strokes and two points, in satin openwork.
Gold-plated 925 sterling silver (vermeil). Lab-created white stones where the Vs meet the ring; a lab-created red stone where the inner strokes cross.
Hand-hammered outer ring in gold-plated 925 sterling silver; both Vs pavé-set with lab-created white stones. Made to order.
