A beautifully delicate 9ct gold sentimental ring, set with a cushion-shaped glazed compartment containing woven hair, within a finely textured gold surround and split shoulders.
Hair jewellery occupied an unusually intimate place in 19th-century culture: a fragment of the body preserved and worn as a token of remembrance, affection or mourning.
9ct gold. Good antique condition, some wear to the surface of the glass.
Size N UK/ 54 US
