ANTIQUE VICTORIAN 1852 DIAMOND & PEARL MOURNING RING 18ct GOLD

A poignant and beautifully preserved mourning ring, this rare 1852 treasure is hallmarked for Birmingham and is set in rich 18ct gold. The face features a delicate flower motif of natural pearls surrounding a single rose-cut Diamond, framed in black enamel floral form. Intricate enamel details extend along the shoulders, with the inscription In Memory of” within individual panels, while the reverse holds a locket compartment for a keepsake.

Steeped in sentiment, this ring embodies the Victorian tradition of honouring loved ones through jewels of devotion and memory, with the simple devotional “Lina” inscribed after the hallmarks. A rare and soulful piece, it carries both historical and emotional significance, making this a true heirloom piece.
