Nostalgic and distinctly mid-century, this vintage souvenir ring commemorates the 1960s New York World’s Fair, held in Queens. The ring features a bold decorative face with lettering referencing the fair and location, capturing the optimism and design spirit of the era.
World’s Fair souvenirs were popular keepsakes celebrating innovation, international culture, and the excitement of the event. Pieces like this were worn as personal mementos or collected as reminders of the historic exhibition.
The ring is adjustable and currently measures approximately size 4.5. One end of the adjustable band is slightly bent outward, consistent with age and past adjustment, but it remains wearable and stable.
The piece remains in good vintage condition with wear consistent with age and use.
