This is an extraordinarily rare and emotive piece of Victorian mourning jewellery, dating to 1849. Crafted in rich, buttery 18 carat gold, the ring is set with an oval banded agate whose single pale stripe cuts across the glossy black surface with striking simplicity.

Encircling the stone is a finely enamelled black ribbon inscription, reading “In Memory Of”, its words contrasting against the black enamel. The sentiment is as moving now as it was to its first wearer, a powerful Victorian symbol of remembrance.

Hidden beneath the stone lies a secret compartment, remarkably preserved, containing the original woven hair. A rare survival that makes this piece especially meaningful, you can really connect to whom this ring was created for. 

What makes this ring truly unusual is the fusion of forms: the bold signet-like agate top, more commonly seen in gentlemen’s rings, combined with the delicacy of enamel work and personal hairwork beneath. It speaks of a time when mourning jewellery balanced strength with sentiment, creating heirlooms that carried love forward through generations.

Cute!
Color: Green
Super cute and fun to use, easy to clean, appears to be very well-made. Excellent, especially for such a low price. I will say the only complaint I have is that the spout design could use some work; the end of it doesn't come out far enough so it dribbles a bit when you try to pour. Also, and maybe this is to be expected due to the use of natural materials, but there are a couple of small split pieces/splinters on the chasen (whisk) I had to trim. Otherwise perfect!

Beautiful gift for matcha fans!
Color: Pink, Color: Pink
My daughter is obsessed with matcha, so when I found this for Easter I knew it was the one. She makes her own latte every single morning, so this fit perfectly into her routine. The packaging alone is gorgeous — the colors worked beautifully with the Easter basket without me having to do much styling at all. Everything she needs to make her matcha was included in the box, nothing missing, nothing to track down separately. I was so happy I stumbled across this, and she absolutely loved it. Honestly one of those gifts that just lands exactly right.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
