A refined British signet ring crafted in 18ct gold, fully hallmarked for Birmingham 1942 and made by Henry Clifford & Sons (HC&S).

Its shield-shaped face is left completely blank - beautiful in its simplicity, but also offering space for a personal engraving, whether a monogram, initials, or family crest.

Made during the height of the Second World War, this piece reflects the restraint and resilience of its time.

Gold was scarce, and jewellery was often made with purpose: its clean lines, solid weight, and traditional form speak to lasting quality over excess.

At UK size Q½, it’s ideal as a pinky or signet ring for men, or a bold statement piece for women.

The warm tone of the 18ct gold gives it quiet depth, while the unadorned face allows for either modern minimalism or personalisation.

A timeless heirloom from wartime Britain - understated, adaptable, and full of character, ready to wear or make your own.

Available exclusively at ELTONS, Grays Antique Market, Mayfair, London.
