THE STORY: This unique ring from the early 1900s was originally meant to hold a cigarette! Cigarette holders like this 14k gold beauty came in various shapes, lengths and sizes, and were generally used to protect fingers or gloves from staining--but, ultimately, these little contraptions were really all about the show (and drama)! Anyone could smoke a cigarette, rich and poor alike, but to stand apart--to make a statement about personality and class--a little flair was called for when smoking. Be sure to a look at the video in this product carousel to see a similar ring in use in the 1950 movie Sunset Boulevard! THE SPECS: Victorian, 14k gold cigarette ring from the early 1900s. The ring measures 4 inches in total from the bottom of the ring to the top of the hands, with the stem of the ring
