Victorian Locket Signet Ring in 9 Carat Gold; Circa 1880

This exquisite Victorian locket ring showcases the era’s flair for craftsmanship, sentiment, and hidden beauty. Its setting is richly ornamented with delicate, scrolling engraving along the edges and shoulders, adding an air of refinement and luxury.

At the centre rests an unusually shaped quatrefoil agate, a form rarely seen in Victorian jewellery. Its smooth, polished surface and softly contrasting banding make it a striking focal point, while the quatrefoil shape, often symbolic of harmony and luck, lends it a distinct and almost architectural presence.

Lifting the hinged agate top reveals the ring’s secret: a concealed locket compartment. Inside, the compartment lid is adorned with the most charming floral engraving, still beautifully crisp despite the ring’s age. This unexpected interior detail elevates the piece from a simple keepsake ring to an exceptional example of Victorian sentimental jewellery.
