18ct Yellow Gold and Diamond Victorian Mourning Ring

Mourning jewellery like this was worn in remembrance of a loved one, and the pearl traditionally symbolised tears. The enamel is in lovely condition, and the ring has the warm glow and fine craftsmanship of mid-Victorian work. It's a poignant, wearable piece of history, equally lovely worn daily or kept as a collector's treasure.
