A remarkable Georgian beauty! The Leandra ring is a collector’s piece indeed 🤎💭✨
Engraved with the date “17 Nov, 1782”, this treasure hails from Rome, Italy 🕯️
The center features preserved hair framed by intricately placed rose-cut diamonds and a halo of seed pearls forming a memorial motif 💫
During the Georgian and Victorian periods, locks of hair were kept as intimate mementos of loved ones. Hair was particularly meaningful because it was literally part of the person and could survive longggg after them 💇♀️👀
Hair was woven, braided, or intricately arranged into brooches, rings, bracelets, pendants, and other jewelry. These pieces could commemorate someone who had passed, or they could also celebrate romantic relationships, friendship, or family bonds 🫶🏼
She’s a truly special piece of Georgian Jewelry and a wonderful collector’s piece—we can’t wait to see who will be wearing this work of art! 🖼️🕯️✨
