This ornate mid-Victorian mourning ring showcases the intricate craftsmanship of the period. At its centre is a beautifully carved forget-me-not cameo in a dark setting, symbolising remembrance and eternal love. The cameo is framed by delicate seed pearls, set amidst an elegant gold scrollwork design. The band features an engraved black enamel dedication reading "In Memory Of," reflecting its sentimental purpose. On the reverse, a locket compartment holds space for a personal memento, likely a lock of hair, adding a deeply personal touch. Hallmarked for authenticity, this ring encapsulates the Victorian era’s devotion to commemorating loved ones through exquisite and meaningful jewellery.
This ring is fully hallmarked by the Assay Office of London for 18ct gold in 1876. It is in very good overall condition, with jus light marks commensurate with age.
