Early Victorian 18 Kt Gold Ring Honoring a Dear Father c. 1842
About the Item
An endearing 18 kt gold and enamel memorial band celebrating the life of a dear father, dated 1842 honors William Marten Esquire who passed away at the ripe age of 81 years. My goodness William was born in 1741!! In this year Handel composed the Messiah. The Whig party held a majority with Robert Walpole as Prime Minister. King George11 asks his army to prepare for the invasion of Prussia. There were many wars in the 18th century and no surprise the rich got richer and the poor struggled harder. This ring has existed in perfect condition for close to 200 years, a miracle in and of itself. A touching antique band from one family to another who wishes to daily remember their father.

- Victorian 18 Karat Gold and Enamel Mizpah RingLocated in Stamford, CTIn striking contrast, this Mizpah ring was created c. 1870 in 18 Kt gold. In striking contrast with no wear, the word Mispah is raised in gold letters on a darker gold background. The borders are scalloped. A gold daisy is at the middle of the word. Mizpah is from the Hebrew bible meaning watchtower. The loose translation is May God Watch over you while we are apart. The word connotes a deep emotional relationship between two people. The added sentiment of the daisy is "think of me" which all Victorians recognized from the language of flowers. A beautiful ring of sentient and dedication. A perfect wedding band...Category
