Victorian Donut Mourning Ring pearl Marks: 15ct gold stamp insideSuper unusual late Victorian mourning ring with a central locket compartment inside a carnelian well, there's no other way to describe it a carnelian donut. I've never seen anything quite like it, the glass compartment in the middle home to a woven lock of hair, filling the void at the centre of the stone. The head is formed over a domed, dish back, with elegant split shoulders and a knife edge band. Built in 15ct gold throughout. Era: Victorian circa
