A pretty and unusual memorial ring from the late Victorian period, dated London 1882. The ring is made from solid 18ct gold and has lovely crisp hallmarks on the inside of the shank. It has a pretty deep blue lapis lazuli in the oval setting. The lapis is a gorgeous blue and has a mildly worn surface adding to the charm.
The shoulders of the shank are decorated with black enamel directly either side of the lapis, adding to the striking appearance. The shank has the words ‘In Memory Of’ with a small gap in the middle of the word ‘memory’. The ring may have been sized (the reason for the gap) and has been re-enamelled at some point, though it came to me as it is and has been done expertly with no evidence of sizing on the inside of the shank. The enamel surrounding the words is a very deep blue.
