About this treasure:

Filled with love this beautiful collectors piece marks the passing of George Stageman of Suffolk who passed 1884. A more sort after and rare design, this is filled with sentiment.

Mourning jewellery became popular in the Georgian and Victorian era as a way of remembering those who have passed. They are testaments to the adoration of one to another.

This is a very sort after and distinct style of mourning ring. A wide heavy gold band bares distinct black and gold enamelling depicting the words, ‘in memory of. Very unusually there is a large rock Crystal fronted locket. This still holds cherish strands of Georges hair. Most likely worn by his widow upon his death to keep him close by.

Hand inscribed inside the band we have the words ‘George Stageman Died May 21st 1884. Through research we were able to track down George who lived in Earl Sobham, Surrey in England.

The entire ring has been created in 18 carat gold making this is high status ring. We adore the combination of the gold and black enamel, its a very striking ring.

This jewel is lovely condition considering its age. We adore the sentimental meaning behind it. This would make an amazing addition to any jewellery lovers collection. Not just an beautiful ring, but a piece of love in history.
