Antique Victorian 9K Yellow Gold Oval Engraved Locket Ring
Located in Staines-Upon-Thames, GB
An antique yellow gold ring, comprising one oval shaped locket compartment, in 9 karat yellow gold, to a band of 9 karat yellow gold. This amazing ring is set to the centre with an oval shaped head, which is beautifully tactile, like a smooth pebble. The oval is beautifully engraved to one side with a heart motif, and elegant scrolls. The engraved panel opens on a hinge, revealing a secret locket compartment. Rings like this were popular in the Victorian era and are often referred to as ‘poison’ rings. They are rare pieces, and are not often found, let alone in wearable condition. Photographs or small mementos could be placed within the locket, the heart shaped engraving would suggest this ring had a sentimental purpose, you can feel the love associated with it, when you wear this ring. The shoulders lead to a carved band of polished yellow gold. The locket snaps shut securely, and it does rattle slightly as is common with rings like these, but the hinge is still strong. The ring is in good condition, with a tiny ding to the underside of the locket compartment. This ding does not affect wearability and cannot be seen when worn. Wear and tear acquiescent with age. The head of the ring measures 10.7mm high, and 13.2mm wide. The band measures 2.7mm wide at the back. Gross weight: 1.68g Ring size: approximately a UK – K US – 5.25 EU – 50 with some leeway either side, due to the shape of the back of the ring Hallmarks: 9.375 (9 karat gold), shield for Chester assay, date letter ‘N’ for 1896, makers mark “GKL”, likely for George K...
