50th Anniversary Sterling Double Ring Ornament

This Argentium Sterling Silver ornament was custom made to celebrate a very special couple on their 50th wedding anniversary.  This couple is Nancy & Dan Dye, who got married on August 14, 1971.....yes, my wife and me!!  I have made a similar ornament for other new couples to commemorate their wedding date and decided to surprise Nancy with this special one.  It bears the 2 dates, 1971 and 2021 at the bottom with a gold heart between them.
