Georgian 18ct Gold Memorial Ring (Part of a Pair of Memorial Rings)
£2,500
526
Admirers
A lovely Georgian memorial ring, in great condition. The face, worked in a mixture of ink and hair, contains an urn with two angels hovering above and the monogram ‘DC’, for Daniel Craister. Surrounding the urn is the inscription, ‘Not Lost but Gone Before’. On the reverse is engraved ‘Dan Craister Obt 22nd may 1779 Aed 26’. The white enamel on the shank signifies that he was unmarried.
This ring would have been made for Daniel’s father to wear in memory of him, with his actual hair used to form the designs on the front.
The other memorial ring that Dan’s mother would have worn can be found here.
Written by Olly Gerrish
A beautiful, rare and sentimental piece! Both rings should be kept together.

The AJC Guarantee
We value our customers' peace of mind over everything.
We therefore created our 5 point promise.
1. Quality
We take great pride in our collection of antique jewellery, one that embodies only the very best from across the ages. Under no circumstances will you find any reproductions and, unless stated clearly, all our items are in good condition and 100% original, free from enhancements.
2. Rarity
All our items are one-offs, quite often commissions, meticulously handmade by skilled craftsmen of old. With the steady increase in international, mass-produced jewellery, our antique jewellery has a timeless beauty and charm that simply cannot be replicated.
3. Knowledge
With over 35 years of experience in the London trade, Olly Gerrish has a reputation as one of London's leading antique jewellery authorities; only the best examples from her stock are selected for the site.
4. Peace of Mind
Investing in a piece of antique jewellery can be a daunting process. We value our customers' confidence and peace of mind above all and strive to uphold a culture of trust and decency at all times. Our reputation for providing expert advice and support for our customers should reassure prospective customers. Should a customer for any reason be unhappy with their online purchase we will not hesitate to offer them a 14 day full money back guarantee.
5. The Personal Touch
Finding the perfect piece should be a fun and enlightening experience. To help achieve this we are here to lend our customers a helping hand and provide impartial expert advice. Building lasting relationships is far more important to us than a quick sale.
