Georgian Enamel Mourning Ring | 10k

Ah, the joys of finding a Georgian mourning ring that is both wonderful and *oh so* wearable! Antique rings of this kind are still sought after today for their character and superior craftsmanship...and this soulful ring is no exception. Here we have a 10k rosy gold piece ringed in a double enamel halo in complementary shades of blue, the color of serenity. Seeing this sky blue color incorporated into mourning jewelry is a rare treat indeed! Under the domed glass center we have the hairwork, over which two interlocking cursive initials "F" and "C" are imposed. On the inside of the ring is an inscription: "Fran Charnoch/k Obt: 27 March 1795, A't: 22. Another secret of this sweet ring? It's *super* comfy! This isn't always the case with antique rings but this one feels great on as the inside is curved so it really hugs the finger. The sort of ring you put on and truly never want to take off. In excellent condition, commensurate with age. There is evidence of resizing on the inside and only faint losses to the enamel- which is excellent, given the age of the piece. A superb little mourning ring, rich with meaning!
