Victorian 18ct Gold, Diamond & Black Enamel Mourning Ring

609M
Rare Find
Written by Olly Gerrish

A heavy gage 18ct gold ring that was made in London in 1864. It does have a later inscription inside the shank for 1920 which may have been the same family that it was originally made for. In the centre are four petal shaped settings set with old mine cut diamonds with a tiny rose diamond at the centre. They are surrounded by black enamel with gold decoration that echoes the floral theme. The shank has a black band on either side with the words “In memoriam”. There is a locket section behind the top.
