Mizpah literally means watch tower in Hebrew and goes back to biblical times.
“And [it was called] Mizpah (Watchtower); for he said, The Lord watch between me and thee, when we are absent one from another.” (Genesis, 31:49)
However, the giving and receiving of Mizpah rings and tokens really became popular during the Victorian era through to the early 20th Century. It was a symbolic gesture of an emotional tie between two people - friends, lovers, betrothed and engaged, particularly when one or other was absent - for example, away at war.
This is a lovely example of an late Victorian 9ct gold 'Mizpah' ring with large embossed letters. The ring is fully hallmarked for 9ct gold and the Birmingham assay office. The band is also date marked for 1900 and bears the maker’s mark of Joseph Moore whose workshop was located in Petsford Street in the jewellery quarter of Birmingham, England.

ABOUT OUR JEWELLERY
This piece has been specifically selected by us, for you. We choose vintage and antique items which we think are beautiful, elegant and classic at a range of price points between £30 and £3,000.
Generally, this means we only ever have one of each piece. We don’t select pieces which are “mass market” but rather items which are more individual. This means that once an item has been purchased, it really has gone.
Each piece comes in an attractive jewellery presentation box.
