Late Victorian Milk Tooth Ring

The loveliest little milk tooth nestled in a bed of 18k gold. In the Victorian era, a child losing a tooth was a time of joy - their odds of surviving to adulthood by the time they reached losing a tooth greatly skyrocketed. This ring would have been made in France around 1890, likely commissioned by a mother or made as a gift.
