Antique Victorian Sterling Silver ‘Mizpah’ Ring Birmingham 1887
Sold Out
Quite the rare and hard to find Victorian Sterling Silver ‘Mizpah’ ring with full hallmarks for Birmingham 1887.
Full of sentimentality the Victorians would give these rings as a sign of deep friendship and love, especially between two people who were to be parted for a length of time.
With gothic style typography in raised fashion to a very finely textured background, simple detail to the shoulders to a tapering shank.
At 134 years of age this marvellous sentimental ring has another 100 years or more and just waiting to find its forever home.
