Step into the pure sentimental love of the late 18th century with this exquisite Georgian mourning ring, a deeply evocative relic of remembrance. Created in 15 carat gold, this ring is more than jewellery. It is moment of love and loss, frozen in time. 

At its heart is a glazed locket panel, behind which sits a painted urn, symbol of death’s permanence, beneath a drooping willow tree. The willow was seen as nature’s emblem of mourning, sorrow, and the passage of time. What makes this piece especially intimate is that the willow is created from human hair. A Georgian and Victorian practice that turns grief into art, making the departed physically present with the living.

Around the band in enamel and gold is the delicate inscription: “Will Bentley ob. 24 Nov 1781 æt 53” which translates as William Bentley died on 24 November 1781, aged 53. Given the quality of ring, he was off someone of moderate or better means, whose loved ones were able to commission such a ring of solid gold and enamel. 

We have been able to find some traces of William in the historical record. It seems he lived in Staffordshire England, and his burial is record on the 28th of the same month; we have included a copy of its hand written inscription.

Pdvbiee - Hot Pink Cheetah Flannel Blanket
Color: Pink, Size: 50"Wx60"L, Color: Pink, Size: 50"Wx60"L
UPDATE: 4 months later ... I sleep with this blanket every night. It is soft, warm and comfortable. It has held up well through multiple wash cycles with no fading, unravelling seams or matting. Still wish it was printed on both sides (really the only reason it's not 5 stars especially since they don't show this aspect in the ad listing), but overall I'm glad I have this blanket! ORIGINAL: I'm a sucker for this type of pattern (hot pink leopard), so I knew I had to have this throw blanket. When I opened the package, I felt a bit let down because the back of the blanket is solid white, which I hadn't noticed in the ad until after I placed my order. It had a faint factory smell, so I thew it in the wash. I was slightly concerned the hot pink color might bleed, but that was not a problem. It washed and dried easily, just as I expected. It definitely feels and looks cozier and fluffier after being laundered. Although, you can more easily tell that the hot pink cheetah pattern is just printed on the blanket, particularly when folding over the darker areas. It still looks cute and will keep me warm, but it may not become my favorite blanket as I initially thought it might be. I also think the price could be a bit lower considering the pattern is just printed on white fabric. There were also already a few loose threads at the ends.

Beautiful throw
