A striking early Victorian signet ring crafted in rich 18ct yellow gold, this piece features a beautifully shaped banded agate shield to the front—its natural layers displaying the classic contrast beloved in antique agates. The shoulders are finely chased with ornate detailing, adding elegance and craftsmanship to the design. Fully hallmarked at the London Assay Office with the date letter K for 1845, it also bears the early Victorian duty mark depicting Queen Victoria’s head. A wonderful, characterful ring with all the charm of its era, and in lovely condition for its age.
