About the Item

This Georgian-era memorial band ring, crafted in 18-karat gold, dates to London, 1801 and beautifully captures the refined elegance of early 19th-century design. The ring showcases a beautiful combination of black, white, and gold enamel, arranged in alternating bands that encircle the entire circumference, creating a timeless and balanced aesthetic. The enamel work is made with exceptional precision, the alternating black and white sections symbolize contrast, remembrance, and harmony, while the polished gold provides warmth and structure. The smooth gold borders frame the enamel bands, enhancing their depth and providing a graceful visual rhythm characteristic of Georgian artistry. Fully hallmarked for London, 1801, and stamped for 18-karat gold, this ring carries both historical authenticity and fine craftsmanship. Originally intended as a mourning or sentimental piece, it now stands as a sophisticated jewel with enduring style. Comfortable for everyday wear, the ring retains its original Georgian character while remaining versatile enough to layer with modern pieces. Details Date: 1801 Origin: London, England Period: Georgian Material: 18K yellow gold, black and white enamel Ring size: 17 (EU) / 6.75 (US) Condition: Very good antique condition; minor wear consistent with age
