ANTIQUE VICTORIAN ENGLISH 15K GOLD HAIR MOURNING RING w/ TINY HEART CHARM c1850

A simply wonderful mid-Victorian mourning or betrothal ring, made of two colours of hair – incredibly finely woven into a textured loop. It has a superb quality, solid 15 carat gold fitting – with 3d raised gold eternal knot above a tiny dangling heart charm. The charm is minuscule, moving about when worn but not really interfering with the finger, and is hand engraved with a pansy flower: emblematic of the remembrance of loved ones and a play on the French ‘penser’ – meaning ‘think of me’. It’s in amazing original condition and is a size 8.25, not resizeable. It weighs 1.2 grams and the band is 5 mm wide. All my items are guaranteed 100% as described or your money back, so buy with confidence!
