Victorian Double Heart Diamond Mizpah Ring in 18 Carat gold; Circa 1890

From the late Victorian era comes this exquisite and rare Mizpah ring, a jewel steeped in romance and symbolism. Crafted in 1890 from rich 18 carat gold, its design speaks directly of love – two entwined hearts, each set with a glinting diamond, the eternal stone of love and fidelity.

The word Mizpah – taken from the Old Testament – became a powerful symbol in the 19th century, meaning “The Lord watch between me and thee, when we are absent one from another.” It was a message of love, faith, and devotion, exchanged by couples and loved ones as a promise of reunion and enduring affection.

This example is especially rare: most Mizpah rings were simple in design, but here the sentiment is elevated with twin hearts, a doubling of love, made eternal with diamonds. The craftsmanship, with its finely detailed goldwork and romantic symbolism, makes it a highly desirable jewel for collectors and connoisseurs of Victorian sentiment jewellery.

Over 130 years old, it remains as relevant today as when first worn – a token of love, loyalty, and remembrance, with a weight of history that modern jewels can only dream of.
