GEORGIAN antique 9k, pearl and hair mourning ring 1802 and inscribed En Thorton

Price: $598.00
Description GEORGIAN antique memorial or mourning hair ring, an antique 1802-dated 9 karat yellow gold, seed pearl and hair mourning ring inscribed inside "En Thornton obt 8 Nov 1802 at 54".  The size is 8-3/4 and it is 1/2" along the finger at the front.  The total weight is about .13 ounces.

There are 20 pearls around the center compartment, all beautifully matched and prong set.  Pearls in jewelry like this can stand for tears.  There is a tiny faint spot of scratches on the crystal, visible only under very close examination, but the braided hair can still be seen through it, and the setting is in very good condition.

This is a real treasure from another age.  View  View  View  View  View  View
