This antique red heart shaped engagement ring box is exceptionally charming! Once belonging to E, Roberts Goldsmiths & Jewellers, once based in the historic market town of Halifax, she is one of the sweetest boxes we have ever laid our eyes on.

Plucked from the prettiest era, this little Edwardian ring box would make the most delightful abode for a precious engagement ring, which would sit snug in her plush cream velvet inner cushion.

Condition:

GOOD-VERY GOOD: This antique red heart shaped engagement ring box is in good condition. A well loved authentic antique, this romantic ring box does have notable wear to her red card outer, however, we think her visible pink layer beneath only adds to her charm. Her cream inner has some slight discolouration but remains soft to the touch. The writing inside her lid has remained in excellent condition and links her beautifully back to her roots. Her Gold clasp tentatively hooks allowing this box to stay closed, but always handle with care. Although she has been loved, she still has much life left and will no doubt be your most romantic purchase!
