This striking 9-carat yellow gold ‘keeper ring’ is a wonderful example of a design that has charmed jewellery lovers for well over a century. 

Fully hallmarked with UK assay marks for Sheffield and a date letter for 1999, it carries the weight of tradition while remaining a versatile and stylish piece for modern wear. 
At 9.8 mm wide, it is a substantial ring with real presence, yet its low-rise profile ensures it sits comfortably against the finger, making it both bold and easy to wear every day.

The design of the keeper ring is steeped in history. First gaining popularity in the early 19th century, these rings were originally given as romantic tokens, often to “keep” an engagement ring in place—hence the name. Their distinctive woven or braided gold pattern symbolised strength, fidelity, and protection, making them a favourite gift between lovers. 

By the Victorian era, keeper rings had become a fashionable staple, worn by both men and women, and their enduring appeal has ensured they remain a classic choice right through to today.

This particular example captures the essence of that heritage with its textured, interlocking design that resembles golden links woven together. Its wide band makes a strong style statement, while the rich glow of yellow gold enhances its timeless character.
A piece that bridges history and modernity, this keeper ring is more than just jewellery—it’s a symbol of enduring love and loyalty, reimagined for contemporary wear. 

Whether worn alone as a bold statement or stacked alongside other rings, it is sure to capture attention and admiration.
