About the Item
This really delightful yellow gold and black enamel band was made to be a mourning ring on the death of someone's grandfather. The 5 millimeter wide band has black enamel to the exterior and has large cut away letters which spell 'MEMORIE' along with a geometric motif separating the start and end of 'MEMORIE'. Inside the band is engraved 'Grandfather' and '1908' along with a crisp set of hallmarks for manufacture in Chester, England in 1901. There is a maker's mark 'WGM' which to date we have been unable to attribute to a specific jeweller. There is some minor wear to the enamelling on the exterior which is expected for a piece of this age, however in our opinion the ring presents in very good antique condition. A really beautiful piece of mourning jewellery from the Edwardian period which would be a beautiful addition to a stack of gold bands.

Located in Brisbane City, QLD
An 18kt yellow gold, black enamel, and seed pearl mourning ring dating to 1817. The piece centres on a piece of likely Essex crystal which sits atop of the letters 'WF' cut from gold. Surrounding this crystal is halo of seed pearls set in a bed of black and white enamel. The beauty of this piece is that the ring is entirely as it was manufactured 200 years ago, with the shank unaltered, evidenced by the uninterrupted patterns on the piece. An absolutely stunning piece of Georgian era jewellery...

Cartier 18 Karat Yellow Gold
Love
Ring
By Cartier
Located in Brisbane City, QLD
Crafted from 18 karat yellow gold this ring is from one of Cartier's most iconic collections, 'Love'. Originally designed by Aldo Cipullo in 1969 first as the 'Love' bracelet, the range has since grown to encompass earrings, rings, bracelets and neckwear. This relatively modern iteration of the 'Love' ring was probably crafted during the 21st Century and is an unusually large ring size, suitable for men, or ladies with a larger finger size. The original 'Love' bangle was designed in two parts with screws that locked the piece onto the wearer's arm, similar to how a chastity belt functioned, with the idea that the spouse would retain the screwdriver that could remove the piece, in essence locking their loved one to them. These Love bands have become a cult classic and are often worn by men and women globally as wedding bands. A really nice addition to a collection of Cartier or simply a nice plain band to stack other rings with.
