COURTING WIRES

WEIGHT OUNCES PER FOOT - PER 30 .48 CMS
Courting wire consists of a deep half round on one side with a shallow half round on the other side. Its name stems from the Middle Ages, before engagement rings, when the man presented this ring to the woman to signify the intention to marry her. Should the man break this agreement the woman would see him in Court.
