GeorgianEnameled Mourning Ringwith Concealed Locket
This unassuming gold and blue enamel ring is a mourning ring dating to the Regency period. Engraved inside are the following details: "J. D. died 24th May 1825 Aged 84." The interior golds a hinged locket which once would have held plaited hair of the deceased but is now empty. This style of concealed locket mourning ring is quite unusual and very very special.
