ANTIQUE GEORGIAN ENGLISH 9K GOLD MOURNING LOCKET RING HAIR JEWELRY c1810 MINT

  

A genuine Georgian treasure that looks like it was made yesterday! Rarely do we see pieces in such perfect condition, it's probably never been worn.

A superb quality, solid 9 carat gold mourning locket ring with rounded, magnifying compartment containing a beautifully woven hair memento. Its ribbed band enlarges to its integrated split, trifurcated shoulders with an artistic, stylized vision. Its strongly rounded, raised head has a reverse tapered bezel and a millegrain surround to the rounded, oval locket compartment, creating an intriguing play of light. Both head and band work together to create a piece that sits astride the difficult line of blending art with reality and a functioning, wearable piece. Dating from around 1810, it's a size 4.75 and could possibly be resized one or two sizes if needed.

It weighs 2.7 grams and measures 11 mm across the head. What's more, I offer layaway deals so there's no need to let any of my listings slip through your fingers - just ask!
