A beautifully sentimental Victorian mourning ring. Dating to 1836 and rich in symbolism, emotion, and historical character its a true testament to enduring love. 

Created in 18 carat gold, the ring features a highly sought after mourning design centred around a black enamel front panel. Set on the enamel is a delicate forget-me-not flower set with tiny hand cut diamonds, sparkling softly against the dark ground.

Forget-me-nots carried profound meaning within Georgian and Victorian sentimental jewellery, symbolising enduring remembrance. Combined with the mourning enamel and diamonds, the motif creates an especially touching and poetic composition.

The shoulders of the ring are adorned with flowing black enamel floral decoration. One shoulder has an area of enamel loss, commensurate with the age and wear of the piece, yet this does little to diminish the remarkable beauty.

Inside, the ring retains an unusually large original glazed compartment containing woven hair work. A deeply personal relic of remembrance preserved for almost two centuries. Such compartments were intended to keep a physical connection to the deceased close to the wearer at all times.

The original inscription remains preserved within the band 'Frances Terry Obt 19th April 1830 Aet 30'

Through historical research, we have been able to trace Frances Terry within the historical record. She was buried at All Saints Church, Charlton-upon-Medlock, Lancashire, on the 25th of April;  only a few days after her death. Records note that she lived in Longsight, then a far more rural location on the outskirts of Manchester, now absorbed into the city itself. 

There is something especially moving about mourning jewellery of this period. The combination of beauty, symbolism, and grief captured in precious materials. This ring embodies that sentiment perfectly and we are able to see and remember Frances even to this day. Do exactly what it was intended to do.

OEM is always the answer
No reason not to go OEM for this! Came with every possible gasket and seal I could need. Specifically for my Alpha One Gen 1 it took maybe 25-30 min to completely install. While you’re there check the base plate for wear and the other surrounding items like your water tube. Rather keep the lower unit off for an extra day to get another part than a catastrophic failure.

Husbands things
My husband bought this. I don’t know much about it but he has zero complaints. He bought it for a boat. He has fixed up 2 boats, sold one & we kept the other. So he apparently knows what to buy & how to use it.
