Victorian Forget-Me-Not Carved Sardonyx Ring
A beautiful and elegant ring from the middle of the Victorian period, with an inscription dating it to 1865. The ring is made from 15ct gold and has a lovely carved sardonyx at the centre, depicting a forget-me-not flower. As is often the case with this style of ring, the carving is intricate and displays lovely details. The shoulders of the shank have some crosshatch etching in the gold and these lead to a channel around the rest of the shank. This channel would originally have held hair, though this has long gone. The inscription on the inside of the shank reads, ‘W.G.L March 22nd 1865’.
