Just got into this whole ring-thingy, and looking to get first signet kind of ring.
Fine Light Trading items seems rad.

I really like the OP-jewellery ones too.
I'd prefer getting something from the east side of the pond. So, any advice on European manufacturers? OP-jewellery fulfills this, but I'm mostly just exploring my options.
EDIT: typo
The only place that i know in Europe who makes similar rings to Finelight Trading (Mexican Souvenir rings) is SWS of London.
I have one and am pleased with it. They arent the same quality as the FLT rings, which are silver (SwS rings are white alloy and brass), but they are seventy quid, which is a good entry level price. Link to the one that i own, which is def one of the better sculpted ones….

If you can get to London then.....
The guy who makes the SWS rings has a shop in Camden Town (its a vintage shop in the Stables area, but the name escapes me).
Nigel Cabourn Army Gym in Covent Garden did stock a few of the FLT rings if you want to check them out in the flesh.

Yup! I like your Webster silver too, definitely some hefty and amazing stuff!

Yeah, DY has some nice stuff – pricey though.

Thanks old chap. Managed to pick up loads of his stuff over the years for really good prices. They had a sample sale and friends/family sales the last couple of years where the prices are at least 75% off. The first one i went to I bought £6,000 rrp of jewellery for about £500.
Went to one a few weeks ago and picked up an awesome ring for £30. I would imagine that there will be another one around November if you're interested.
Re the good art stuff im very keen to pick up a belt loop buddy!

I bought myself a Fine Light Trading Marine ring. The craftmanship is amazing.
Turns out I overshot the sizing slightly though… I bought an 11 while I need ~10. Anyone have experience with reducing the size of these, and how to go at it?
If anyone has an FLT ring around size 10, let me know and maybe we can trade.

I think you will struggle to get it resized. Based on my experience when i have had a ring resized they have heated the metal. I would imagine that this would risk ruining the brass elements of the ring.
Any chance that you can return or exchange it?

Thanks for response. Damn that doesnt sound good. I was hoping they could just cut it up in the bottom and braze it back together.
I didn't buy directly from Innis, so I can't do that.
I appreciate any other input I can get in the matter.

My pleasure. There may be someone else here with different experiences than i have had, so try not to lose hope!

So I finally got one of these.
Good Art Model 10 A, courtesy of @grandmasterben !
It's a little big, but I think that's the intended fit. Doesn't slip over my hand so that's good.

Looks good to me old chap!

Damn that's one fine hunk of silver! Next year will be my year for one. As the GA guys say, wear it til it turns to dust!
