About this treasure:
A sentimental ring, this piece marks the passing of a dearly missed loved one during the Victorian era.
We not only appreciate the story behind mourning rings, but we also love how it epitomises Victorian sentimental jewellery. Mourning jewellery became popular in the Georgian and Victorian era as a way of remembering those who have passed. They are testaments to the adoration of one to another.
The front of this ring features a striking panel. At the centre we have an emale panel with the letter OMI which graduate down the shoulders with floral enamelling The attention to detail is fabulous and shows the love and loss. Plaited aroud the band of the ring is the rich brown hair of the loved one; which we find out more about within the ring.
Looking inside the band is the hand engraving ‘Thos (short for Thomas) Hemsley Chapman died Nov 1st 1877‘ . We have been able to track down Thomas to living in Hackney London at his death, and being able to leave £3000 in his will; a handsome some of the day!
This jewel is in remarkable condition considering its 150 years of age. We adore the sentimental meaning as well the highly ornate and exceptional design work. The entire piece is created from rich warm 9 carat rose gold, its deep buttery glow bringing exceptional quality to the ring.
This would make an amazing addition to any jewellery lovers collection. Not just an beautiful ring, but a piece of love in history.
