Antique, 18ct Yellow Gold Mizpah Ring, Hallmarked Chester, 1899

This is an incredibly striking, antique 'Mizpah' ring, with beautiful raised lettering, in a bright, yellow 18ct gold.

The bold lettering across the centre of this wonderful antique ring spells the word 'Mizpah', which derives 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 has masses of sentimental value.  It tended to serve as sweetheart jewellery, given to a loved one during a period of long separation such as military service or travel.  

This ring is currently a UK size O which is a US size 7 1/4 but it could be re-sized.   It weighs a healthy 4.45g and is fully hallmarked for 18ct Gold, Chester, and the victorian year, 1899.  It has beatiful chasing around the top and shoulders of the band and it measures 7.5mm wide.

This very special antique ring remains in extremely good condition.  It has been cleaned and is ready to wear.
