About this treasure:

A sentimental and beautiful collectors ring, this piece marks the passing of a dearly missed Mother in 1883. This ring is in exceptional condition with a beautifully ornate design.

We not only appreciate the story behind mourning rings, but we also love how it epitomises Victorian sentimental jewellery. Mourning jewellery became popular in the Georgian and Victorian era as a way of remembering those who have passed. They are testaments to the adoration of one to another.

The front of this ring features a striking panel. At the centre we have a single bright white diamond, either side fo white an female panel spells out the word Memory. This is further bordered by tiny seed pearls, a popular choice as it represented tears for the lost loved one. Looking down each shoulder we have the further words ‘in‘ and ‘of‘ completing the motto, in memory of. Though there is enamel damage nothing is lost from the sentiment.

Inside the band is engraved beautifully and is still as clear and crisp today as it was when first added. It simple reads ‘Mother died 1st Oct 1883‘. And just behind the head of the ring we also have an intact glazed panel feature the delicately plaited hair of the lost loved one. Their presence always near.

This jewel is in remarkable condition considering its 150 years of age. We adore the sentimental meaning as well the highly ornate and exceptional design work. The entire piece is created from the best 18 carat gold gold, its deep buttery glow bringing exceptional quality to the ring.

This would make an amazing addition to any jewellery lovers collection. Not just an beautiful ring, but a piece of love in history.
