Larter & Sons
was a prolific maker of cufflinks and other gentlemen's
accessories during the late 19th century and through much of the
20th century. Their creations ranged from fine gold and
gem-set cufflinks, rings and dress sets to less expensive, but
well made, accessories crafted in lesser metals.
In the early 1920s the firm created a collection of beautifully
designed, finely crafted men's rings inspired by the art and
architecture of past historic eras. These rings were known
collectively as the "Period Rings".
The Period Rings were announced to the jewelry trade in a series
of graphically striking advertisements that reflected the beauty
and design of the rings. Below are advertisements for the
Larter & Son rings inspired by ancient Egypt, the
Renaissance, Gothic architecture, the Classical Revival of the
1700s and the reign of Louis XV in France.
