This is an extraordinarily rare and emotive piece of Victorian mourning jewellery, dating to 1849. Crafted in rich, buttery 18 carat gold, the ring is set with an oval banded agate whose single pale stripe cuts across the glossy black surface with striking simplicity.

Encircling the stone is a finely enamelled black ribbon inscription, reading “In Memory Of”, its words contrasting against the black enamel. The sentiment is as moving now as it was to its first wearer, a powerful Victorian symbol of remembrance.

Hidden beneath the stone lies a secret compartment, remarkably preserved, containing the original woven hair. A rare survival that makes this piece especially meaningful, you can really connect to whom this ring was created for. 

What makes this ring truly unusual is the fusion of forms: the bold signet-like agate top, more commonly seen in gentlemen’s rings, combined with the delicacy of enamel work and personal hairwork beneath. It speaks of a time when mourning jewellery balanced strength with sentiment, creating heirlooms that carried love forward through generations.

Not for tough chewers
Color: Blue
Cute toy, good concept but definitely not for super chewer. Got it at such a price that I let him destroy it because he was having so much fun. You only have one birthday a year after all.

fun toy
Color: Orange
Very cute toy .My dog loves it. He is hard on toys and loves playing pully. So far it is holding up really well. It is a good size for medium to large dogs. I think if you have a small breed it may be to large. The color is a vivid orange and white. I really think your dog will love it.

Will buy again
Color: Orange, Color: Orange
This was one of the first toys I got my dog and he LOVED IT. I sadly had to throw it away because he peed on it but this is something I will definitely repurchase. Perfect for tug of war and playing fetch. Definitely not indestructible as he did rip it a little but it took him a LONG time to do that
