Knights of Columbus Fourth Degree 10K Gold Enamel Ring Size 10 Vintage For Sale

Vintage Knights of Columbus Fourth Degree ring in solid 10K gold. Stamped 10K inside the band with a maker's cartouche.Weighs approximately 10-12 grams. My scale only has a 0.1 oz tolerance, which is about 2.8 grams per increment, so that's an honest range and not a precise figure. Bring your own scale if the exact number matters to you — it should.Estimated 1950s based on the construction — heavy cast shank, enamel-filled recesses, engine-turned field, and a small prong-set center stone, all typical of American fraternal jewelry from that era. No serial number or date mark, so treat the decade as an estimate rather than a guarantee.The face carries the 4th Degree emblem — the dove descending over the cross. Both shoulders have the Knights of Columbus shield emblem in white gold relief, worn soft with age. That wear is part of the story; this ring was worn by someone who earned it.The center stone is missing. The prong setting is intact and ready to take whatever a new owner wants to put in it — a diamond, a birthstone, a blue stone for the globe, your call. Until then it sits as-is.
Approximately a size 10. The band is slightly flattened at the bottom from decades of wear, so it reads a touch out of round. A jeweler can true it up easily if you want it perfect.Good fit for collectors, Knights of Columbus members, devout Catholics, gold stackers, or anyone who just likes the look of it.A note on provenance: I got this in a trade, so I'm not the original owner and I have no papers or certification for it.
