Decorative arts — C. 1840
Finger ring, commemorative ring
This finger ring commemorates the marriage of Queen Victoria and Prince Albert on 10 February 1840. Six dozen of these rings were ordered from the royal jewellers, Rundell, Bridge and Rundell, whose shop was on Ludgate Hill. The royal couple presented the rings to their friends and relations at the time of their marriage.
The gold finger ring has a bezel formed of conjoined miniature medals of Albert of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha and Queen Victoria. The medals are rimmed with blue enamel and surmounted by a sprig of forget-me-not set turquoises and diamonds, with diamond swags on either side.
