A wonderfully rare Victorian mourning ring, combining hidden sentiment with striking design.

Created in 9 carat gold, the ring takes the form of a classic signet style, giving it a timeless and substantial presence on the hand. The top is set with a foil-backed rock crystal, displaying a soft pale purple hue. Over time, a small amount of water exposure has created a unique antique patina. Rather than taking away we fell this only adds depth and character to the stone and enhancing its one of a kind appearance.

The most remarkable feature of this ring is its hinged signet top, which lifts to reveal a hidden locket compartment beneath. Inside rests an oval locket of hair. A deeply personal and intimate tribute to a dearly loved one, in keeping with the Victorian tradition of sentimental jewellery.

The combination of the glowing crystal, concealed compartment, and timeless signet ring design makes this piece both visually striking and emotionally resonant. A rare and captivating antique ring, full of intrigue, craftsmanship, and sentiment. Truly a piece that has it all.
