A classic, beautiful Georgian "In Memory Of" ring that was repurposed to make a locket - probably not long after it was originally made. The ring is affixed with lengths of chain to make into a pendant and has been set with glass panels that hold a lock of hair. Why was this ring modified? Perhaps its owner could no longer wear it on the hand but wanted to keep it close? We'll never know for sure. A cleverly constructed and very unusual piece.
