Vintage porcelain floral locket ring by Luzier
History
This decorative ring features a porcelain insert with hand-painted floral design set in a gold-tone metal frame with ornate detailing. Dating from the mid-20th century, it was designed as a solid perfume locket ring, where scented balm could be stored within the hinged compartment. Solid perfume locket rings were particularly popular during the 1950s and 1960s, allowing women to carry their favorite fragrance in an elegant and convenient form. Luzier, a cosmetics company founded in 1928, was known for producing these decorative and functional jewelry pieces that appealed to fashion-conscious women. Collectors of vintage costume jewelry and perfume-related memorabilia particularly value these pieces for their combination of functionality and decorative appeal.
