About this piece

This exquisite mourning ring is a poignant example of Victorian sentimentality, beautifully crafted in gold with a hand-engraved and black enamel face. At its center lies a compartment likely holding a lock of woven hair, a cherished memorial tradition of the 19th century. The square bezel is framed with intricate gold foliate engraving, enriched with black enamel scrollwork that extends across the decorative shoulders, embodying the artistry and symbolism of the Victorian era.


Mourning jewelry held deep meaning in this period, serving both as remembrance and as a tangible expression of love. The black enamel symbolized mourning and eternity, while the hairwork represented the enduring connection between the living and the departed. Each piece was unique: a private keepsake, handcrafted with devotion.


Delicate in form yet rich in sentiment, this ring is a beautifully preserved relic of remembrance and craftsmanship.
