This is a really beautiful, Victorian Mizpah ring, set in 18ct gold and fully hallmarked for Birmingham, 1884.  The Makers Mark (I.S.G) is also engraved on the inside of the band.

A wonderful gothic script has been used to craft the raised letters which sit across the centre spelling  the biblical word, ‘Mizpah’.

The word Mizpah comes from the Old Testament (Genesis 31:49, "And Mizpah; for he said, The Lord watch between me and thee, when we are absent from one another")

Mizpah jewellery was popular during the Victorian era from the mid- to late-1800s and tended to serve as sweetheart jewellery, given to a loved one during a period of long separation such as military service or travel.
