Signed on the inside of the shank, " BIRKS." Ring size 6 can be sized. Henry Birks was a contemporary of Louis Comfort Tiffany and was known for his superior choice of gemstones and fine craftsmanship. He opened his first store in 1879 in Montreal, Canada, and later expanded to Toronto and many other towns in Canada. His stores are still present today under Birks & Mayors.
