An antique Mizpah ring made during the Victorian era in 15ct gold. Mizpah jewellery is typical of the Victorian era of sentimentality, with the meaning translating to ‘watchtower’ in Hebrew. Mizpah jewellery represents an emotional bond and was often given to a loved one when a long separation was in the foreseeable future. Today, Mizpah jewellery is widely sought after and collectible.
