the antique victorian 1864 enamel and hairwork 9ct gold mourning ring

This Victorian mourning ring is an exquisite example of mid-19th-century memorial jewellery, crafted with meticulous attention to detail. The centerpiece is a finely woven panel of hair, framed by an intricate border of scrolling black enamel and gold, showcasing a harmonious blend of texture and craftsmanship. The shoulders of the ring feature engraved foliate patterns that extend seamlessly into the band, further enhancing its ornate design.
The back of the ring's head is engraved "Geo. Norman Ob: Feb 16th 1864 Æ 17 Yrs".
This piece serves not only as a sentimental memento but also as a testament to the artistry and cultural practices of the Victorian era, making it a deeply meaningful addition to any collection of antique jewellery.
This ring is fully hallmarked by the Assay Office of Birmingham for 9ct gold in 1867. It is in good condition with just light wear commensurate with age.
