Victorian 18ct Gold Mizpah Ring set with a Diamond with Secret Compartment

59Z
547 Admirers Rare Find

An unusual 18ct gold ring that was assayed in 1894. The top is an ivy leaf motif with a star in the centre set with a small diamond. There is a compartment that hinges open and reveals the word Mizpah.  Mizpah is a Hebrew word that means ‘watchtower’ and is loosely interpreted as “May God watch over you”. So this ring has a lovely meaning and is further underlined by the ivy leaves that literally mean “Cling to me” and the diamond within the star centre that means “You are the important person in my life”.
