An antique English, solid 9 carat gold (tests thereabouts) rosary ring; finely made, and set with a sardonyx agate seal that hinges open to reveal a hidden locket compartment.
Lovely quality & a rather unusual example...so collectible and wearable too!
CONDITION: All original and very good. Slightest signs of wear & faint denting commensurate with age and use. May benefit from a clean.
DEFECTS: None.
DATE/MARKS: Around 1870. Not marked.
DIMENSIONS: Locket 12 x 10 mm (1 inch = 25.4 mm). To give an impression of scale, the coin is 19 mm or ¾ of an inch diameter.
