DATE: Victorian, 1882

Cool Victorian MIZPAH ring made in the year 1882. Hebrew for "watchtower", the mizpah sentiment has come to connote an emotional bond between two people who have become separated - either physically or by death. Indeed, the word is often used as the name for a cemetery, often seen on headstones and other memorials. This ring was likely exchanged to commemorate a promise or bond. Crafted in sterling silver, the lettering stands out over a textured and lightly oxidised background.
