A Georgian mourning ring in gold with finely plaited blonde hair preserved beneath an oval glazed panel, framed by split pearls. The pale hair forms a delicate woven pattern, its strands still clearly visible. Ornate foliate shoulders lead into the gold band.
Inscribed “JM & EL” and “JBL Died Feb 17 1830”, the ring retains a deeply personal connection to the person remembered.
Excellent antique condition, with slight variations in the pearls.
Metal: tests as gold (at least 9ct)
Size: UK P
