Georgian Garnet and Pearl Ring - Antique Mourning Style in 15ct Gold | Custom Made by Yaffie™

An intriguing, decorative early 19th century mourning ring, from the late Georgian/Regency period. Constructed in unmarked yellow gold (tests as approximately 15ct), the central glazed compartment containing a woven hair panel, within a surround of seed pearls and almandine garnets with a cut down border, to the fluted trifurcated shank and closed back setting.

The ring is likely to have been a gentleman's ring, to be worn on the little finger, though could just as easily have belonged to a lady. The ring is unmarked, I would date it 1800 - 1840.
