About the Item
A rare and evocative Georgian mourning ring (circa 1760–1780), featuring a finely rendered figural scene of a woman leaning on a pedestal—a classical allegory of grief and remembrance—set against a rich blue enamel ground and preserved beneath a protective glass pane. Such pictorial mourning jewels were commissioned to commemorate the deceased and reflect the 18th-century fascination with classical symbolism, sentiment, and allegory.
The ring is crafted in low-carat gold (~3k), consistent with Georgian construction, and is accompanied by its original fitted box, a remarkable survival that significantly enhances both its historical importance and collector appeal. The face of the ring measures approximately 1.3 inches by 0.85 inches wide and is a size 5.5.
The metal has been professionally evaluated using XRF (X-ray fluorescence) analysis and traditional jeweler’s testing, confirming its period-appropriate gold composition. The ring is in good antique condition with some light surface wear and some dust behind the panel of the ring.
