There are rings that sparkle, and then there are rings that speak. This one carries a message across time, in bold, confident letters that have outlasted the moment they were first given. “MIZPAH” was not a casual sentiment, it was a promise of watchfulness and devotion, exchanged between people parted by distance but bound by affection. One can almost picture it pressed into a palm before a long journey, a quiet assurance that someone, somewhere, was thinking of you.
Handcrafted in England in 1891, this 18 karat gold band is fully hallmarked with a crown, “18,” the Birmingham anchor, the date letter “r” for 1891, and the maker’s mark “D & F.” It is a size 9 US and weighs a substantial 7.96 grams. It measures 7.3 millimeters north to south, 18 millimeters across the face, and stands 2 millimeters off the hand. The band has a smooth, softly rounded profile, with the engraved “MIZPAH” motif standing proud across the face, its letters still crisp after more than a century.
More than a piece of jewelry, this is a token of connection. Its beauty lies not in ornament, but in meaning. It is the kind of ring that feels as relevant now as it did then, a reminder that love, loyalty, and memory have always found their way into gold.

Please note that if you are ordering a ring and you’d like to have it re-sized by us, you need to check with us before ordering to see if this can be done and what the cost will be. We generally offer free re-sizing within one full size up or down for no additional charge, but there may sometimes be a charge for the materials, ie: gold. Some rings cannot be re-sized by us, such as eternity bands and heavy signet rings. We are happy to let you know if we can resize any ring and to quote you a price on re-sizings over one full size. Re-sized rings are not eligible for return, but may be exchanged at our discretion.
