Colonial Legacy, Captured in Silver.

📖 The Story

This ring isn’t just about aesthetics — it’s about reclaiming a story.

Struck during the reigns of King George V and King George VI between 1911 and 1947, these One Rupee coins circulated widely during a turbulent time in India’s colonial history.

From the fight for independence to the echoes of empire, this ring lets you carry a tangible reminder of resistance, resilience, and transformation.

Hand-forged from a genuine coin over 75 years old, it's a subtle but powerful link to a time that shaped the modern world.
