Historically, arms were only heritable by males, and therefore cadency marks had no relevance to daughters. As the 1st Earl of Liverpool had two sons by his first wife, Louisa Howard, Gerald Foljambe, bears the charge of the mullet, symbolic of the third son, Brevet Major Honourable Josceline Foljambe, that of the swift symbolic of the fourth son. The daughters cadency is unusually also marked with the same charges above the hearts. Condition Report: All stones present and correct. Two of the lockets have slightly different coloured glass frames to the reverse.

AN IMPORTANT GEORGIAN COMMEMORATIVE DIAMOND AND HAIRWORK JEWEL FOR EDWARD IV CIRCA 1789 The glazed oval bezel containing a lock of Edward IV's hair in the form of a bow above the rose cut diamond cypher ER, beneath a rose cut diamond crown, on a light blue enamel ground, within an old European cut diamond surround, the curved reverse engraved Hair of Edward 4th, who died [Ap]ril 9th 1483, discovered at Win[dsor], March 1789., later brooch and pendant fitting, converted from a ring Size/dimensions: 3.7cm long Gross weight: 10.6 gramsKing Edward IV of England (1442-1483) was a central figure in the Wars of the Roses. Born on April 28, 1442, in Rouen, France, Edward was the eldest son of Richard, Duke of York, and Cecily Neville. His father's claim to the English throne was passed to Edward after Richard was killed at the Battle of Wakefield in 1460.At just 18 years old, he led the Yorkist forces to a decisive victory at the Battle of Towton in 1461, effectively ending Lancastrian rule and allowing him to claim the throne as Edward IV. His reign was marked by attempts to consolidate power, but his secret marriage in 1464 to Elizabeth Woodville, a commoner and widow, sparked tensions with powerful nobles, particularly Richard Neville, the Earl of Warwick, who had been a key supporter.The fallout from this marriage led to Edward's brief deposition in 1470 when Warwick and Edward's brother George, Duke of Clarence, aligned with the Lancastrians to restore Henry VI to the throne. However, Edward returned from exile in Flanders in 1471, reclaimed the throne after defeating Warwick at the Battle of Barnet and the Lancastrians at the Battle of Tewkesbury, and secured his position as king.Edward's second reign (1471-1483) was more stable. He focused on restoring royal authority, strengthening the economy, and developing a more centralized government. However, his sudden death on April 9, 1483, at the age of 40, left his kingdom in turmoil. His 12-year-old son, Edward V, was declared king but was never crowned. Edward V and his brother, Richard, Duke of York, were imprisoned in the Tower of London, where they mysteriously disappeared, leading to the rise of Richard III.Edward IV's legacy is a complex one, marked by his military successes, his efforts to stabilize the realm, and the unresolved mysteries surrounding his sons, the "Princes in the Tower."King Edward IV was buried in St. George's Chapel at Windsor Castle, a royal chapel that he played a significant role in remodelling during his reign. Edward was laid to rest in a tomb situated in the north quire aisle of the chapel, alongside his wife, Elizabeth Woodville.In the 18th century, during renovations to the chapel, Edward IV's tomb was accidentally disturbed, and his coffin was opened. This revealed some of his remains, including strands of his hair, which were surprisingly well preserved. These relics were later used in the creation of commemorative mourning jewellery, as was the custom of the time.Locks of Edward IV's hair are in possession of the Society of Antiquaries and the Wellcome Collection, London, and a related mourning ring was sold at Christie's, 11th October 1995, lot 24.
