Nipped and tucked had way different connotations back then, it wasn’t about doctors and surgery, it was about corsets, corsets, and even tighter corsets. To accent this most desired section of anatomy a woman would wear a sash about the waist and an elaborate and most beautiful buckle at the front, and sometimes at the back as well. I don’t usually buy these as they aren’t used quite as much in fashion these days, but those of you who frequent my site know that I can’t resist a really amazing example of anything.

Alternating with each amethyst is a smooth and creamy round blister pearl, also about 10 mm in diameter each. The buckle measures 71.5 mm north to south and 48 mm across and weighs 24.8 grams. The box is red leather covered and is in wonderful condition.

He thought about her all the time, his Kate, she was in his dreams and in his waking thoughts, he cherished their every moment together and went over them time and again in his mind until the details had worn off and they were soft and smooth as an old penny. He knew the sound of her footstep and he lived for the sound of her laughter. He knew she’d say yes, knew she’d marry him even if it was an old shoe lace that he wrapped around her finger, but he didn’t want that, he wanted a proper ring, that she’d wear for all of their long life together.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eSo he saved. First he bought one small diamond and then another to match, he worked hard at his job as a printers apprentice and the printer gave him more responsibility and more money. On the day that he bought the center stone he carefully unwrapped all three and planned out the ring in his mind, studying the stones, seeing their detail by daylight and by candlelight. He took them to the jeweler the very next day. In one week he would have a ring. A proper, glowing diamond ring.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe ring sat in a small leather box with a brass clasp inside his jacket pocket.

They ate and talked and laughed and drank champagne until late in the night and when dessert arrive, a Souffle au Cuacao for two, he signaled to the waiter to refill their glasses and he raised his to hers. “To my wife?” he asked with a smile as he slid the little leather box her way.

It has no hallmarks and so it’s very possible that it was a custom made ring, no need to pay the assay duty or have it hallmarked if it’s a commission, after all.

The stones are clean, but a little bit off color, which was typical for diamonds at this time, as good supply of whiter stones wouldn’t be found for a few more decades. The face of the diamond ring measures 7.5 mm north to south and 9.1 mm across, it sits 5.4 mm off the finger and narrows to 1 mm at the back of the band.

The engraving is gorgeous and the patterning is wonderful, as the juxtaposition of the two motifs is quite appealing.

But looking deeper, there may be more to the story!\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe history of Mizpah jewelry is a fascinating layering of religious and cultural changes throughout England. During the Victorian Era, men and women who were courting were rarely left alone together and had to adhere to strict rules limiting almost any kind of intimacy. Even gift-giving was chancy; a young man would have never bought a piece of clothing for a woman, for example! Rings and pendants and other jewelry were more acceptable tokens of affection, and because religion was such a deep part of European and British life, many of those pieces of jewelry would have displayed a biblical reference. The word ‘Mizpah’ comes from the Old Testament and was translated to mean ‘May God watch over you.’ During the late 1800’s travel was long and arduous, and often lovers would give gifts with ‘mizpah’ inscribed on them, as a physical prayer of protection. It’s possible that this lovely cross was given from one smitten lover to another before a lengthy journey, and it may be that this pendant was the only romance the couple were allowed!\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis shining silver cross was made in Birmingham, England in 1882. It weighs 9.0 grams and measures 83.5 mm high by 42.3 mm wide, with a thickness of 5 mm. The front of the cross is engraved with sprays of leaves, buds and flowers, with ‘MIZPAH’ stretching across the horizontal arms.
