This late Victorian mourning ring is an elegant tribute to a cherished memory. Crafted in rich yellow gold, its square setting is adorned with four luminous seed pearls, symbolising purity and eternal love. The shoulders feature intricate black enamel detailing, while the band's inner channel conceals a woven lock of hair, adding a deeply personal touch. Blending sentimentality with fine craftsmanship, this piece embodies the Victorian era’s devotion to preserving connections through jewellery.
This ring is fully hallmarked by the Assay Office of Chester for 15ct gold in 1881. The band is no longer a perfect circle, as can be seen in the photos of this listing, but it is still fully wearable and is in good overall condition.
