Victorian Elephant Hair 15ct Gold Ring

A Victorian elephant hair ring in black and gold, rich in symbolism and historical meaning. Elephant hair jewellery has long been associated with protection, resilience, and safe passage, particularly in southern and eastern Africa, where naturally shed hairs were used to create personal talismans believed to carry the quiet strength and endurance of the elephant.

The wider band gives this ring a bold yet understated presence, with the deep black of the elephant hair contrasting beautifully against the warmth of the gold. A distinctive and evocative piece that carries both cultural significance and Victorian character.
