This Victorian ring centres on a polished onyx plaque, cut into a softened octagonal form and set within warm 9ct gold. At its heart sits a raised gold initial - a romantic, old-world letter rendered in gentle relief against the inky black ground.
The shoulders are adorned with subtle, sculpted detailing that speaks to the sentimentality of the period, when jewellery was rarely decorative alone but carried meaning, memory and identity. Initial rings were exchanged as tokens of love, friendship and remembrance - a single letter holding an entire name, a story, a promise.
Elegant but bold, this piece sits beautifully on the hand, the glossy onyx catching the light with a soft sheen while the gold glows warmly against the skin. It layers effortlessly with other antique bands yet holds its own as a signature piece.
A timeless heirloom for someone whose story begins with this letter.
