Victorian IN MEMORY OF Ring
Exquisite Victorian memorial ring dedicated to the life (and death) of Grace Woods. The band comprises eleven panels finished in black enamel, each displaying a letter - in the fantastic Blackletter (aka Gothic) script - to spell out the words IN MEMORY OF (the last panel features an asterisk-style embellishment. A dedication inside the band reads: Grace Woods, died 6th May 1849. London hallmarks warrant the gold.
