Step into the pure sentimental love of the late 18th century with this exquisite Georgian mourning ring, a deeply evocative relic of remembrance. Created in 15 carat gold, this ring is more than jewellery. It is moment of love and loss, frozen in time. 

At its heart is a glazed locket panel, behind which sits a painted urn, symbol of death’s permanence, beneath a drooping willow tree. The willow was seen as nature’s emblem of mourning, sorrow, and the passage of time. What makes this piece especially intimate is that the willow is created from human hair. A Georgian and Victorian practice that turns grief into art, making the departed physically present with the living.

Around the band in enamel and gold is the delicate inscription: “Will Bentley ob. 24 Nov 1781 æt 53” which translates as William Bentley died on 24 November 1781, aged 53. Given the quality of ring, he was off someone of moderate or better means, whose loved ones were able to commission such a ring of solid gold and enamel. 

We have been able to find some traces of William in the historical record. It seems he lived in Staffordshire England, and his burial is record on the 28th of the same month; we have included a copy of its hand written inscription.

New formula

I love the original aqua cream but it seems they have changed the formula and it is a much thinner, more liquidy product. The scent has also changed, though it’s fairly neutral, and it now comes in a smaller glass container compared to the original plastic.
