a true antique treasure, dating to 1917 and inscribed with the letter D
this is a signet ring with a twist — it opens into a locket or poison compartment, and still has a nice, snug closure

round locket measures 10mm

C O N D I T I O N
in good antique condition
locket lid's latch closes nice & snug, though the lid does have a bit of wiggle & rattle
this ring is fairly lightweight, so I suspect the domed shoulders are semi-solid/hollow
surface scratches, dents, dings consistent with an antique piece
British hallmark is partially missing from a previous sizing
ring was sized previously leaving a faint sizing seam and the band is now slightly out of round and doesn't fit snuggly on the mandrel
engraving on the face of the locket has softened significantly
