A rare and beautifully sentimental Victorian heart locket ring. Created in 9 carat yellow gold and rich with the romantic symbolism so beloved in 19th century jewellery.

The top of the ring is formed as a hinged heart shaped compartment, designed as a miniature locket. A deeply personal feature that would once have held a tiny keepsake, lock of hair, or other cherished memento.

At the centre of the heart sits a round cut diamond, surrounded by a delicate border of seed pearls, all set against black enamel detailing . The arrangement of the diamond and pearls create a classic “forget-me-not” motif, a powerful Victorian symbol of remembrance and enduring love.

Flowing down from the heart are beautifully scrolling shoulders, which are further decorated with black enamel. The combination of diamond, pearls, enamel, and the hidden locket compartment makes this ring a particularly evocative piece. Jewellery that was not only decorative but deeply meaningful to its original owner.

A rare and highly collectible Victorian ring, rich in symbolism and craftsmanship. A poignant example of the era’s fascination with sentimental and memorial jewellery.
