The word \u003cem data-start=\"352\" data-end=\"360\"\u003eMizpah\u003c\/em\u003e comes from the Bible (Genesis 31:49) and translates to \u003cem data-start=\"416\" data-end=\"492\"\u003e“The Lord watch between me and thee, when we are absent one from another.”\u003c\/em\u003e In the late Victorian and Edwardian eras, Mizpah rings were exchanged between lovers, spouses, or family members when distance, war, or travel kept them apart — a deeply romantic promise of love, protection, and reunion.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"715\" data-end=\"1171\"\u003eAt the turn of the 20th century, when this ring was made, the British Empire was at its height and separation was common — whether through emigration, military service, or long sea voyages. Jewellery like this became a way to keep someone close even when oceans lay between them. We were drawn to how softly the lettering is formed into the gold band, giving the piece a quiet intimacy that feels just as meaningful today as it did more than a century ago.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1173\" data-end=\"1222\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1173\" data-end=\"1183\"\u003eMaker:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"1183\" data-end=\"1186\"\u003eBD (maker unknown, Birmingham assay)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1224\" data-end=\"1270\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1224\" data-end=\"1236\"\u003eProduct:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"1236\" data-end=\"1239\"\u003eEdwardian Mizpah sentiment ring\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1272\" data-end=\"1313\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1272\" data-end=\"1282\"\u003eMetal:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"1282\" data-end=\"1285\"\u003eGold (Birmingham hallmarked)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1315\" data-end=\"1341\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1315\" data-end=\"1323\"\u003eEra:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"1323\" data-end=\"1326\"\u003eEdwardian, 1900\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1343\" data-end=\"1356\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1343\" data-end=\"1352\"\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"1352\" data-end=\"1355\"\u003eP\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1358\" data-end=\"1561\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1358\" data-end=\"1372\"\u003eCondition:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"1372\" data-end=\"1375\"\u003eLovely antique condition with beautifully preserved Mizpah lettering and gentle age-appropriate wear.
