Victorian Gun Metal Split Rings, c. 1870

They whisper of pocket watches tucked into waistcoats, chatelaines jingling at a lady’s hip, and the small, necessary mechanisms of a well-appointed life. These Victorian split rings, crafted from gunmetal, were not merely practical; they were made to last—solid, functional, and imbued with the patina of over a century’s worth of use. Their undulating, organic texture speaks to their handmade nature, each twist and imperfection a testament to the craftsman’s hand.

Measuring 28 mm across and 3 mm thick, these rings weigh 5.72 grams combined. Their gunmetal construction, darkened with time, gives them a striking presence, perfectly suited for antique restorations or as authentic accessories for a period chatelaine or fob chain. Without marks, they remain an enigma—practical, enduring, and quietly elegant in their simplicity.

Whether you seek the perfect Victorian split ring for a treasured heirloom or wish to repurpose them into something uniquely your own, these rings hold a history waiting to be continued.
