A remarkable and rare antique locket ring, crafted in Stockholm in 1851. Made from 18K gold, this Swedish ring features a hinged rectangular bezel set with an unusually cut pink spinel, point-faceted to catch the light from all angles.Beneath the gemstone lies a hidden compartment—just 2mm deep—originally designed to hold sentimental mementos such as a perfumed cloth, a lock of hair, or a handwritten note. Today, it can be used for anything from solid perfume to the tiniest emergency stash.The shoulders are ornately decorated with foliate motifs in high relief, lending a sculptural quality to the design. The ring is stamped inside the band with a clear set of Swedish hallmarks: the triple crowns for Sweden, the city mark for Stockholm, the ‘V4’ date code for 1851, and an ‘18K’ fineness mark.The bezel measures approximately 9 x 10mm, and the ring weighs 2.26 grams. It is a UK size K½ (US size 5.5).In excellent condition for its age, with light signs of wear. The hinge opens and closes securely, and the compartment remains clean and usable.An extraordinary example of mid-19th-century Scandinavian craftsmanship, combining utility, sentiment, and design flair in one wearable piece.
