Mid-Victorian Braided Hair MIZPAH Ring Size:12 Natural RubyDATE: Victorian, c. 1860 This is the coolest MIZPAH ring weve had in stock for ages. Its modelled in 15 karat rose gold, with modernist style big block capital letters that stand out on a textured background. The remainder of the band has been adorned with intricately woven human hair something that the Victorians were expert in creating. Its probably a memorial piece which is a slightly unusual twist on the Mizpah theme, and it dates from the 1860s.
