£79.99
Etched with classical acanthus scrolls, the Ancient Acanthus Ring brings museum-grade detail to a modern, adjustable band. Hand-finished in hypoallergenic 925 sterling silver with a deep, antiqued patina, this men’s silver ring layers easily with chains and cuffs. Durable, water-resistant, and built for daily wear, it delivers heritage elegance with unmistakably Illicium edge. Designed in London for refined, everyday style.
Design Inspiration: The acanthus leaf has framed temples, manuscripts and royal armour for over two millennia. Illicium’s interpretation distils those classical motifs into a torc-like band: raised leaves bordered by continuous scrolls, darkened by patina to echo weathered stone and cast bronze. We studied Hellenistic friezes and Renaissance metalwork, then simplified the forms for a bold, wearable silhouette. The result is a ring that feels unearthed from an archive yet engineered for today—ancient symbolism, modern precision.
Materials: Hand-crafted from premium 925 sterling silver—a precious alloy of 92.5% pure silver with 7.5% copper for added strength. Naturally nickel-free and hypoallergenic, it wears beautifully and polishes back to a brilliant lustre. A rhodium finish further reduces tarnish, keeping each piece enduring and truly timeless.
This ring is fully size adjustable and can be opened or closed by the wearer as desired. Fits US sizes 7-12. For a full ring size conversion chart and guidance on how to determine your ring size see our ring size guide here.

To keep your 925 sterling silver shining, wipe it after wear with a soft, dry polishing cloth and store it in an airtight pouch away from humidity. Avoid lotions, perfumes, chlorine, and saltwater; remove before showering, swimming, or working out. For a deeper clean, use mild soap and lukewarm water—rinse, dry thoroughly, and never use abrasive cleaners. Rhodium-finished pieces only need a gentle cloth buff.
