The Sizing Mechanism Explained: The inner ring structure seen on the gold-tone pieces is Avon’s classic patented internal sizing guard/spring. During the 1970s and 1980s, Avon added these flexible metal bars inside their fashion rings. This served two brilliant purposes: it allowed a single ring to fit securely across slightly varying finger dimensions (often expanding or compressing by roughly half a size), and it acted as a counterweight stabilizer to stop top-heavy cocktail rings from slipping or spinning sideways. Founded in 1886 as the California Perfume Company, Avon officially launched its dedicated jewelry line in 1970. It quickly became one of the largest and most beloved costume jewelry producers in the world. Collectors highly prize pieces from the 1970s golden era due to their heavy triple-gold plating, exceptional casting detail, and collaborations with high-end designers like Kenneth Jay Lane, Elizabeth Taylor, and Celia Sebiri.
