A remarkable and deeply personal Georgian mourning ring. Created around 1771 to commemorate the life of Benjamin Walmsley by those who loved him dearly. 

Created in rich, buttery 18ct gold, the ring is decorated with a band of white enamel. A significant detail in Georgian mourning jewellery, traditionally used to for unmarried individual. The contrast between the luminous gold lettering and the soft white enamel is both striking and elegant.

The band bears the dedication: “Ben Walmsley died _ Aug 1771 Aged 44” Simple and profoundly human, the inscription captures a moment of loss preserved across more than two centuries.

What makes this piece particularly special is its connection to historical record. Ben Walmsley can be traced to Lancashire, England ~ baptised on 18th June to parents Joshua and Ellen, and later buried in Rochdale at the Church of St Chad. Records note him as residing in Goose Lane, a rural setting with only a handful of homes , offering a poignant glimpse into the quiet life behind the name.

Rings such as this were intimate tokens of remembrance, worn daily to honour and keep close the memory of a loved one. The survival of both the ring and its story creates a powerful link between past and present.

Great shoe - funky sizing!
Size: 9.5, Color: 8/Brown
I was looking for a dress shoe for my fiance for our wedding. The day will be primarily outside, so we loved this style because its much more comfortable and supportive than a traditional dress shoe. The look of these is great, they are beautifully made and have a great color. My only complaint is that the sizing is a little off. They run pretty large. My fiance wears between a 9-9.5, but usually buys a 9.5 We had to buy 4 different pairs before setting on the size 8. He reports they are so comfortable and a great shoe, just know if you are buying for an occasion you might need to exchange for sizing. I would buy at least a full size smaller.

These were perfect for our tropical destination wedding
Size: 9.5 Wide, Color: 8/Tan, Size: 9.5 Wide, Color: 8/Tan
I bought these for my husband to wear at our tropical destination wedding. They are fairly lightweight so they didn’t add too much weight to the luggage. He needs a wide in some shoes, others he can get away with a normal width. He said he felt really good. I would definitely recommend, and I would buy again.

Nice look, nice price, but not durable
Size: 12, Color: 8/Black
I really like the way the shoes looked, and the price was good. Unfortunately, the seam first busted after only about 5 months. It has been about 10 months now, and the seam is busting all the way around the shoe.
