A beautifully sentimental Victorian mourning ring. Dating to 1836 and rich in symbolism, emotion, and historical character its a true testament to enduring love. 

Created in 18 carat gold, the ring features a highly sought after mourning design centred around a black enamel front panel. Set on the enamel is a delicate forget-me-not flower set with tiny hand cut diamonds, sparkling softly against the dark ground.

Forget-me-nots carried profound meaning within Georgian and Victorian sentimental jewellery, symbolising enduring remembrance. Combined with the mourning enamel and diamonds, the motif creates an especially touching and poetic composition.

The shoulders of the ring are adorned with flowing black enamel floral decoration. One shoulder has an area of enamel loss, commensurate with the age and wear of the piece, yet this does little to diminish the remarkable beauty.

Inside, the ring retains an unusually large original glazed compartment containing woven hair work. A deeply personal relic of remembrance preserved for almost two centuries. Such compartments were intended to keep a physical connection to the deceased close to the wearer at all times.

The original inscription remains preserved within the band 'Frances Terry Obt 19th April 1830 Aet 30'

Through historical research, we have been able to trace Frances Terry within the historical record. She was buried at All Saints Church, Charlton-upon-Medlock, Lancashire, on the 25th of April;  only a few days after her death. Records note that she lived in Longsight, then a far more rural location on the outskirts of Manchester, now absorbed into the city itself. 

There is something especially moving about mourning jewellery of this period. The combination of beauty, symbolism, and grief captured in precious materials. This ring embodies that sentiment perfectly and we are able to see and remember Frances even to this day. Do exactly what it was intended to do.

Love the long sleeves!!!
Color: White, Size: Small
Love it! I'm 5' 11" tall and I purchased this according to reviews. Several people commented on the length of the sleeves. I have a hard time finding sleeves long enough if it's not " tall" sized. It was perfect for me. If this washes nice I'm going to consider purchasing more in other colors. I ordered the white and just love the long ribbed cuffs with the line of buttons. Very soft.

Nice cozy sweater, but handwashing is recommended

Soft and cozy, but does not wash well. Goes with everything. This sweater fits well and looks great. I received lots of compliments while wearing it.

Great sweater for winters in the Midwest
Color: Black, Size: X-Large
Love this sweater! I went back and got another color! The fit is true to size and very comfy. The button detail on the sleeves just adds a little pizazz. The weight of the sweater is perfect for winters in the Midwest.

Flattering fit
Color: Dark Green, Size: XX-Large
This sweater is thick and stretchy but holds a nice shape, and is flattering on the body. The sleeves are nice and long too, which I really appreciate, being a tall person... the button detail is a great addition. True to size. I haven't washed it yet, and I imagine, based on the kind of woolly knit it is, that this sweater will eventually pill... but for now I'm enjoying being cozy and stylish. The deep green color is almost black green. I LOVE IT.

Love it
Color: Dark Green, Size: Small
I got the dark green. Love the sweater and it's warm. I do layer the sweater as well. It is as pictured. Size is perfect to me. I like sweaters to be longer and a bit wider in case it is freezing and I need to layer it. This sweater is perfect for layering. It comes closer to my backside, it is a little wide and not snug, and I like that the sleeves come over my wrists
