Filled with love this beautiful collectors piece would be a wonderful addition to any jewellery lovers collection. Created in 1791 marks the passing of cherished loved one, this mourning ring truly a captured movement of love in time.
Outside the band we have fine intricate design work which reads 'Henry Harrison Esq Ob 29 Mar 1792 AEt 26'. Encompassing this letting we would have originally seen either black, white or a combination of both all around. Looking closely at what traces remain it looks like we have white around the lettering with a band of black on the top and bottom.
We not only love the story behind this ring, but we also love how it epitomises antique sentimental jewellery. Mourning jewellery became popular in the Georgian and Victorian era as a way of remembering those who have passed. They are testament to the adoration of one to another. They have always been cherished by later generations and have certainly seen a huge revival in recent years.
The entire ring is created in buttery 22 carat gold. And with a width of over 5mm this is a rare and particularly lovely antique ring.This jewel is entirely original and in remarkable condition considering its age. The use of the very best material, ornate fine features and attention to detail is testament to the love and craftsmanship!
