A sovereign ring is a ring which typically has a gold sovereign as a primary decorative feature, with the obverse face as the visible detail. The coin may be either genuine or replica tender, and may be either a sovereign or half sovereign.
Sovereign rings are associated with chav culture in the UK, [1] [2] [3] [4] or more broadly with emulating the look of a mafioso. [5]
In the United Kingdom it is also common to use custom coinage bearing such motifs as the ' Three Lions' or other similar imagery such as Saint George, or a Welsh Dragon.[ citation needed]
Celebrities who have been observed wearing a sovereign ring include Brad Pitt, [5] Ghislaine Maxwell [6] and the English rapper Louise Amanda Harman, hence her stage name of " Lady Sovereign". [3] [7]
