Victorian 18ct Gold & Black Enamel Mourning Ring

86U
280 Admirers Rare Find
Written by Olly Gerrish

A smart 18ct gold ring was made in Chester in 1897. It is a mourning ring and engraved inside is “Samuel Gregory. Aged 51, obit at Grindelwald, Switzerland. July 14/97”. I wonder if he died from a skiing or climbing accident. The outside is black enamel with entwined gold rope work and “In Memory of” in Gothick lettering around the band. This ring cannot be sized.
