Antique Edwardian 9ct Rose Gold ‘Keeper’ Ring - Birmingham 1905
Please note, boxes are for display only unless otherwise stated.
This striking antique Edwardian 9 carat rose gold ‘Keeper’ ring is a rare and beautiful piece with a story to tell.
Traditionally, a keeper ring was given as a symbol that the wearer was truly “worth keeping” – a sentiment that continues to resonate today, making these rings a meaningful choice as a unique wedding ring, engagement ring, or eternity band.
Crafted in 1905 and fully hallmarked for assay in 1905 Birmingham, this ring is an unusual and eye-catching example of the style.
Its domed, slightly diagonal design is adorned with intricate floral detailing, creating a rich, ornate texture that catches the light beautifully.
The wide, heavy shank gives it a substantial feel on the hand, while the warm rose gold adds depth and character to its appearance.
Unlike many antique rings of its kind, this piece has retained its crisp detail with no fading to the ornate pattern, a testament to both its craftsmanship and careful preservation over more than a century. The floral motif, combined with the bold sculptural form, makes it a standout piece that balances sentiment with artistry.
This ring is more than just a piece of jewellery – it is a symbol of devotion, heritage, and artistry. Whether chosen as a romantic gift, a personal keepsake, or a statement antique ring, it carries with it the enduring message: you are a keeper!
