RARE French VICTORiAN Antique ROSARY Ring 18k Gold Black ENAMEL Cross Rivet Band

Very lovely French 1800s Victorian rosary ring in 18k gold with an oval lozenge face set with black enamel cross design amidst ornate engraved details. The shank has raised rivets around all sides giving it an almost medieval look like something you would see in a period piece movie. The 13 rivets are intentional to the Rosary / Hail Marys so the wearer could run their finger along them while praying and meditating. Makes a striking and unique stacker with a great antique appearance.

Shank is stamped with the French eagle head hallmark for 18k Gold. It also has a goldsmith hallmark.

Ring is a size 7. The ring face is 8.5mm top to bottom. Dainty piece Weighs just 1.4 grams. Please note that all my pieces are in estate condition.

There is a scratch to the enamel seen when you study it in a reflection and some nicks from age but it still appears complete. I wish I knew the stories the piece could tell and feel drawn to the person who lovingly used it. Some surface wear but Still perfectly shaped and still legible with rich buttery patina. But of course due to age - Please note due to age, this piece is not in mint condition.
