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.

Good For Faster Tanning
Style: SPF 15, Size: 8 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
This is a terrific sunscreen for those looking to tan faster. It's not as low as 8 SPF, or as high as the minimum recommended 30 SPF, but it'll get you darker faster. Apply this 15 minutes before going in the sun, and reapply every two hours. As someone who recently went to Hawaii and got 2-3 hours of sun every other day for two weeks, reapplying is absolutely crucial. We went once and reapplied after three hours, and that gave us some pain. Not as much pain as not reapplying at all, but it definitely taught us to reapply no matter what, if you are in the sun. Overall, this applied cleanly and protected our skin about 93%. And 93% is better than not wearing any sunscreen at all.
