A wonderfully characterful antique signet ring dating to 1837, crafted in 15ct yellow gold and centred with a smooth cabochon turquoise.
The inside of the band is hand engraved “9th May 1837”, placing the piece at the very end of the Georgian period and giving the ring an extraordinary connection to almost two centuries of history.
At the centre sits a rich turquoise cabochon, framed by a substantial gold setting and beautifully hand-tooled shoulders. The detailing gives the ring a distinctly early 19th-century character, with the craftsmanship and irregularities associated with genuinely antique jewellery rather than modern reproduction pieces.
Weighing 2.4 grams, the ring retains a wonderfully wearable profile while still offering plenty of period charm and visual presence.
