Gold Signet Ring • Antique Victorian 14k Gold • Engraved Initials JF • Size 5.5
$345.00
An antique 14k gold signet ring engraved with the initials JF. The square signet face features a hand-engraved monogram, while the sides of the shank are detailed with raised scrollwork and Floral ornament, adding structure and visual interest without excess weight.
Tapered, architectural shoulders with a triangular profile are very characteristic of late Victorian signets transitioning into Edwardian style. The raised scrollwork and foliate engraving on the shoulders is a hallmark of pre-World War I work. The engraving is ornamental but restrained.

Frequently Asked Questions

We want you to shop with confidence and love your piece.
If you need to make a return, please notify us within 3 business days of delivery
Returns must be shipped back within 7 calendar days and in the same condition with all original packaging.
Buyer is responsible for return shipping, insurance, and tracking; uninsured items lost or damaged in transit cannot be refunded.

Layaway
We are pleased to offer interest-free layaway on pieces priced at $500 and above.
A 20% non-refundable deposit reserves your selected piece, with the remaining balance payable over up to 120 days.
As each jewel is one-of-a-kind and removed from active sale during layaway, timely payments are appreciated. If a payment is missed without prior communication, the layaway may be canceled and the deposit retained. If we do not receive communication within 7 days of a scheduled payment, the layaway will be considered canceled.
All layaway purchases are final sale and not eligible for return or exchange.
By initiating a layaway, buyers acknowledge and agree to these terms.
Sizing details
Unfortunately we are unable to offer in-house sizing at this time.
Because each ring is unique in its age and construction, the ability to size varies by design and stone setting. Many pieces can be adjusted within two sizes, though this is only a general guideline.
We recommend having any sizing done by a trusted local jeweler, ideally one who uses a laser welder, as antique gold and historical settings often require specialized care.
If you’d like us to help coordinate third-party sizing for an additional fee, please reach out before purchasing.
Please note that all sizing performed by any jeweler or third party is at the buyer’s discretion and is non-refundable.
