Antique Victorian 18ct Rose Gold Lovers Knot Keeper Ring Circa 1888


Collections: Sold Archive



Quite a lovely example of a Victorian ‘keeper’ ring and in this case a combination of a ‘lovers’ knot also.

Crafted in 18ct rose gold and designed as a series of intertwined ‘knots’ symbolising the unbreakable bond between two people.  These rings were usually exchanged between couples a year before the engagement as a sign denoting that ‘you’re a keeper”!  How sweet! 

Low rise to the finger, lush and comfortable to wear, this early beauty weights a lovely 5.14 grams and feels as good as she looks.

Measuring a nice wide 9.2mm and a substantial finger spears of 1.9cm across the finger.

Wouldn’t this lovely Victorian ring be a wonderful gift for a loved one .. or perhaps oneself!
