The Antique Georgian 1818 Pearl & Rose Mourning Ring

This lovely example of pre-Victorian jewellery features a large rectangular head with an enamelled black panel with gold inlay initials reading ‘Mp’, framed with fourteen small white-grey pearls. The shoulders are tapered with a cast floral design which leads into a lined detailed band. Inside the head there is an inscription which reads ‘Mrs Mary Page Ob 7 Feb 1818 at 68’. This ring, circa Georgian era, is in good condition for its age with just light and marks commensurate with age. There is evidence of a resizing to the base of the shank where a matching piece has been added, as well as some signs of general antique-era repair to the shoulders where they join the head and shank. Sturdy on all points, with pearls well set, a fully wearable piece of history. Please note that due to the style of the shank this ring is excluded from our Free Resizing service.
