"The true lady of the world in London has almost as much to do with her jeweler as with her milliner. Soon she buys a new piece, soon jewels are set differently because fashion changes, soon she needs a headdress of luxurious stones, soon diamonds must be set on a necklace of sammet - in short, a visit to the jeweler is almost indispensable." (Bazar, 42nd Volume 1896, No. 12, p. 144) During the Victorian era, a lot of jewellery was bought and gladly worn, as you can read above. Always the world lady had to go with the new fashion. So it is not surprising that in the ring before us, real natural pearls, which were about as expensive as diamonds of the same size, were not used, but a kind of early imitation pearl. Five of these silvery-gray imitation pearls adorn the ring face of the jewelry set across the finger. They are set in airy golden lobes. The ring we discovered in England, made in the years around 1890, was originally submitted to the Birmingham Assay Office, as the hallmark inside the ring band tells us. Due to an old ring width change, the date letter has been lost, but the design of the ring allows us to date it approximately to the years around 1890.
