A deeply sentimental and highly unusual antique signet ring dating to 1916. Created in warm 9 carat gold, this piece carries all the romance and personal meaning so treasured in early 20th century jewellery.

At first glance it presents as a classic signet ring, the front panel beautifully engraved with the flowing initials “FS” in an elegant script. With a gentle lift, however, the panel opens to reveal a hidden locket compartment within. Still containing its original photograph! Such concealed compartments were created to hold the likeness of a loved one, making this ring not merely decorative but profoundly intimate.

The design transforms a traditional signet into a private love token, intended to keep someone dear close at hand every day. Discovering the photograph inside feels like opening a tiny time capsule, preserving a personal story from over a century ago.

A rare and touching survivor, full of emotion and history. This is a ring for collectors of meaningful jewellery and for anyone drawn to pieces that speak of love and connection across time.
