Step into the pure sentimental love of the late 18th century with this exquisite Georgian mourning ring, a deeply evocative relic of remembrance. Created in 15 carat gold, this ring is more than jewellery. It is moment of love and loss, frozen in time. 

At its heart is a glazed locket panel, behind which sits a painted urn, symbol of death’s permanence, beneath a drooping willow tree. The willow was seen as nature’s emblem of mourning, sorrow, and the passage of time. What makes this piece especially intimate is that the willow is created from human hair. A Georgian and Victorian practice that turns grief into art, making the departed physically present with the living.

Around the band in enamel and gold is the delicate inscription: “Will Bentley ob. 24 Nov 1781 æt 53” which translates as William Bentley died on 24 November 1781, aged 53. Given the quality of ring, he was off someone of moderate or better means, whose loved ones were able to commission such a ring of solid gold and enamel. 

We have been able to find some traces of William in the historical record. It seems he lived in Staffordshire England, and his burial is record on the 28th of the same month; we have included a copy of its hand written inscription.

Favorite for dry climate
I live in a dry desert and these are the only moisturizing masks I see instant results. For best results after doing my evening skincare routine I apply the mask one hour before bed. I store them in the fridge so they feel cool and soft on my skin. Once you get the hang of applying them it’s very easy the second time. I sleep with them on and remove them in the morning and my skin is glowing, plump and pores appear smaller. The mask itself is a thick durable jelly not like the typical sheet masks. The price for this is worth it if you wear the mask minimum 2-5 hours once a week

Youth Serum?
You will not regret trying this! The results are amazing!!! 🤩 After the first use my skin looked healthier, brighter, more even toned and pores were diminished. I look young again. (I’m 57.) I have neglected my face for a few years after being the kind of girl who never left the house without makeup. I knew I needed some deep repair and thought a mask would help. Lo and behold, my beloved Amazon gave me Biodance! I just used my third mask last night and I’m still excited to peel it off the next morning. My face doesn’t look all dewy like the pictures and video but it’s definitely a huge improvement. I didn’t realize it was that dry. A couple tips-don’t worry when you first apply it if it’s not perfectly positioned. There is wiggle room and it will slide a bit. Handle carefully! It’s slimy & slippery. You can use the eyes and lips (cut outs) for other problem areas and you can tear off the nose as well. It feels cooling the moment you put it on. I had no irritation at all. I took the advice of one reviewer and sat on the couch with my head leaned back for about an hour before I went to bed to let it dry a little. Nice “ME” time. Thanks a zillion Amazon and Biodance! I vow to use a mask weekly from now until the end of time. ❤️

Cool Product
I love these masks. The are cool and white in color when you put them on and they turn clear when the stuff is absorbed. I was new to a mask that has to be on 3 hours or more, but it was cool. I had very little skin irritation and I have sensitive skin. They are very easy to put on and take off. They have a heavy cooling sensation when you first put them on because the are really wet, but it dissipated over time and was comfortable to sleep in. I use these masks twice a week. I will definitely keep using them. My skin feels softer and more firm in the morning. I just take off the mask and apply a little moisturizer with sunscreen and I'm good for the day.
