About the Item
This Victorian mourning ring is crafted in 9kt gold and features an intricately preserved hairwork design under a protective crystal panel. The central motif depicts a sheaf of wheat, symbolising the harvest of life and eternal rest — a popular sentiment in 19th-century memorial jewellery. Surrounding the hairwork is a fine blue enamel border, framed by a delicate gold beaded edge.
The shoulders are hand-engraved with ornate foliate detail, demonstrating the high level of craftsmanship typical of the Victorian period. Rings of this type were often commissioned as sentimental or memorial pieces, preserving a lock of hair from a loved one.
A rare and highly collectible example of period mourning jewellery, blending symbolism, sentiment, and artistry.
