Georgian Pearl Hair Memorial Ring Dated 1801
$ 890.00
I held my coffee mug, cupped between my hands, staring at an array of rings in a stall on Portobello Road. My eyes grazed over each one, exploring the silvers and the golds, analyzing the diamonds and the emeralds. I’d seen them all before, there was nothing that tempted me. The seller had a peculiar look in her eyes, so I stared her down, and raised a brow. She gave me a wink and went into the back. A minute later she returned with a display of only one piece. This piece.
This Georgian memorial ring was handcrafted in England in 1801. It was made in 18 karat gold and showcases woven hair at the center surrounded by 18 pearls on an oval-shaped ring face. The inside of the band has been inscribed, “Ann Hutton Ob 10 Dec 1801 Age 60”. This ring weighs 4.2 grams and is a size 9. The ring face measures 12.7 north to south, 16 across and sits 3.3 mm off the finger, it narrows to 4.2 mm at the back of the band. There are no marks and it has been acid tested.
Who was this Miss Hutton? I’d really like to know. My curious nature and wanderer’s soul has been a bit restless over this ring. It’s a beautiful antique piece, with at least another two hundred years’ worth of life.

They walked along the sand hand in hand as the sun rose over the ocean. He’d woken her just before dawn with warm hands and soft kisses and then scooped her out of bed and dragged her out the back door and through the dunes to the ocean’s edge. The sky turned orange and then pink and then purple. The rays of the sun burst through and he lifted her hand still wrapped in his to his lift and kissed it gently. Then he slipped on a band of diamonds and they sparkled like a promise in the first light of day.

Victorian Buckle Ring Inscribed 1891 18k Gold Wedding Band
$ 1,750.00
The belt, the buckle, the garter; call it what you will, this simple but highly effective invention dates back millennia. It’s a marriage of form and function that is now so ubiquitous it practically goes without notice, but in Victorian times it had a strong symbolism associated with it which caused it to be used in other aspects of life and art, including jewelry. The buckle was seen as similar to the serpent, a symbol of eternity, of strength and protection and was used fairly often in the symbols of mourning jewelry.
This wonderfully chunky gold buckle ring has a fabulous inscription and a full set of English hallmarks which tell us that it was made in Birmingham in 1893 of 18 karat gold. The ring is 10.8 mm wide at the widest point and 3.7 mm thick, it narrows very slightly to 7.3 mm at the back of the band. This ring is a size 7.25 and weighs 7.3 grams. The ring is inscribed in script with “Remembrance 1891 and 1892”.
This sweet and sentimental ring would make and excellent wedding band, the perfect recycled heirloom!
