Victorian Hairwork Ring of 10k Gold

A Victorian-era ring featuring a finely woven plait of hair mounted within a 10k gold band. Hair jewelry held deep sentimental significance during the Victorian period, serving as a cherished keepsake to commemorate a loved one or mark an important personal relationship. The intricate plait remains beautifully preserved, offering a tangible connection to the craftsmanship and customs of the nineteenth century.

The ring is 0.3 inches at its widest point and the piece weighs 2 grams. It is currently a size 7.25 and and cannot be resized without risking damage to the historic hairwork and original construction. It remains in great antique condition.
