“This enamelled gold mourning ring commemorates the death of Samuel Nicholets of Hertfordshire who died on 7th July 1661, as is recorded in the inscription inside the ring. The ring is hollow, and a lock of hair curls around within it, visible through the openwork of the enamelled decoration of skulls and coats of arms.”

From the V&A:
Made by Auguste-Germain Cadet-Picard, who made and showed electrical pins invented by Trouvé at the Paris 1867 Exhibition. At this exhibition, jewels with moving parts powered by electricity attracted a lot of attention.
The jewel contains electric terminals so that, when connected to a battery concealed in the wearer’s pocket, the eyes roll and the jaws snap.
