A rare and evocative Georgian mourning ring. Dating to 1835 its created in rich 18 carat gold. The ring features a distinct linear design, characteristic of early 19th century mourning jewellery, where restrained elegance and symbolism were favoured over excess ornamentation.

The mount would originally have been fitted with bands of black enamel, traditionally used to signify mourning and remembrance. Today, only the faintest surviving traces remain, softly worn through time, adding to the quiet dignity of the piece.

Inside the band is a deeply poignant hand engraved dedication: “Peter Earnshaw died 25th Nov 1836 aged 86”

We have traced Peter Earnshaw within the historical record. His burial took place on 2nd December 1836 at St Andrew’s Church, Aldborough, Yorkshire, and remarkably, his grave survives (image attached). Further research reveals that Peter was married twice — first to Mary, whom he lost in 1805, and later to Elizabeth, whom he married in 1808 and lost in 1817.

Peter’s memorial is located within the nave of St Andrew’s Church, an honour that indicates his high standing within the local community. The survival of both this ring and its inscription provides a rare and tangible connection to his life and legacy.

Now serving as a mourning ring, this piece offers the opportunity either to preserve it as a moving historical artefact. A powerful example of Late Georgian era mourning jewellery, valued as much for its story as for its craftsmanship.

An exceptional and deeply sentimental survivor of the early 19th century.

Super cute
Color: Bunny (Mauve), Size: Small
Super cute and fuzzy. Definitely perfect size for a puppy and not too loud. The fur is very soft and the nose is sown on not a hard piece that can be chewed on. Very good quality too.

Normally amazing
Color: Spiky Ball (Blue, Orange), Size: Medium
We have purchased these slightly spiky dog balls several times for our very strong jaw heavy chewer dogs and they’ve been amazing. They don’t break down they don’t get torn apart the squeakers don’t even pop out of them. So we ordered another package because we’ve lost a few outside to the lawnmower… oops and the package that got delivered today had only one ball that squeaks and the other does not. THIS IS A PROBLEM ! Unfortunately my female dog got to the new squeaking ball first and my male got to the non-squeaking ball and he was NOT happy. Basically once they claim a ball it’s theirs and the other dogs don’t go near the ball they claimed. So he’s following my female around and every time she squeaks the ball and I’m just waiting for him to attempt to take it from her causing damage to her. Normally… These are amazingly fun, tough, durable but also squeaking balls (that’s rare in a tough ball) that my dogs absolutely love. This time just got a bad batch I guess. When they squeak the dogs LOVE them. After several months of play the squeaker might break inside of the ball but the ball never comes apart or gets damaged. And we as the owners love that they don’t break down are not able to be ripped or torn even by our very strong jawed and big jaw muscle dogs. They are also great for in the house play because they’re small enough that they fit completely inside our dog‘s mouth but obviously not small enough to get swallowed so when we throw them in the house for fetch the dogs can jump up and catch them fully in their mouth so they don’t cause any damage to the walls when they hit the walls. They’re not super heavy but they’re incredibly durable. Definitely worth the price especially if you have heavy chewers or big jaw muscle dogs.

Best fun indestructible toy
Color: Crinkle Duck (Yellow), Size: Large
Truly indestructible no matter how much our oittie tries. She has owned it for three months works at destroying every day with no success. She carries it everywhere. Best purchase for chewer, more fun than the popular rubber heavy duty toy. Do not hesitate your pup will thank you for this fun distraction.

My dog loves this toy!
Color: Bunny (Gray), Size: Large, Color: Bunny (Gray), Size: Large
High quality, big toy, perfect for a medium to large size dog. After a few months of serious chewing I had to buy another one, but well worth the money! Rocky loves it.

Great toy but if your dog is an aggressive chewer, please think twice.
Color: Crinkle Chicken (Brown), Size: Large
I received this on May 23rd and on June 8th, after playing with this thing every day, our recently acquired 36 lb dog finally ripped it open and got out all the plastic and the squeaky part. Lily Belle will miss you, chicken. Lily loooooved this toy! She'd toss it in the air, chew on it, pull it with her teeth etc. but as much as she loved it, we won't replace it. It's just not durable enough for her. If your dog is an aggressive chewer, you might want to try a different toy. I hate that this lasted just a smidge over two weeks because Lily seemed to truly enjoy this toy. RIP, squeaky chicken!
