A beautifully sentimental Victorian mourning ring. Dating to 1836 and rich in symbolism, emotion, and historical character its a true testament to enduring love. 

Created in 18 carat gold, the ring features a highly sought after mourning design centred around a black enamel front panel. Set on the enamel is a delicate forget-me-not flower set with tiny hand cut diamonds, sparkling softly against the dark ground.

Forget-me-nots carried profound meaning within Georgian and Victorian sentimental jewellery, symbolising enduring remembrance. Combined with the mourning enamel and diamonds, the motif creates an especially touching and poetic composition.

The shoulders of the ring are adorned with flowing black enamel floral decoration. One shoulder has an area of enamel loss, commensurate with the age and wear of the piece, yet this does little to diminish the remarkable beauty.

Inside, the ring retains an unusually large original glazed compartment containing woven hair work. A deeply personal relic of remembrance preserved for almost two centuries. Such compartments were intended to keep a physical connection to the deceased close to the wearer at all times.

The original inscription remains preserved within the band 'Frances Terry Obt 19th April 1830 Aet 30'

Through historical research, we have been able to trace Frances Terry within the historical record. She was buried at All Saints Church, Charlton-upon-Medlock, Lancashire, on the 25th of April;  only a few days after her death. Records note that she lived in Longsight, then a far more rural location on the outskirts of Manchester, now absorbed into the city itself. 

There is something especially moving about mourning jewellery of this period. The combination of beauty, symbolism, and grief captured in precious materials. This ring embodies that sentiment perfectly and we are able to see and remember Frances even to this day. Do exactly what it was intended to do.

cute but not the material I expected
Size: Small, Color: Pure Black
This was really cute, well made and fit as expected. Unfortunately, I have sensitive skin and I found the material to be scratchy so I sent it back.

Nice quality sweater, well made and soft.
Size: Large, Color: Pure Beige
I love this sweater - but I bought it just in time for summer, so it won't get much use until fall! It fits great, it is really soft and the overall quality is quite good. I plan to buy another one in another color as well.

Nice casual looking sweater
Size: Small, Color: Pure Black
I purchased the black/cream inset sweater in a small. I usually wear a small. I fits loose, but NOT baggy. I like the loose fit. The sweater feels so soft. Nice looking sweater. Very happy with the sweater, but could have ordered a medium for a boxier fit.
