A large quatrefoil acts as the focal point of this unusual Georgian mourning ring. Edged in black enamel the face of the ring features four creamy pearls on a stippled ground with a tiny locket containing plaited hair at the center. Engraved on the reverse is "John Allen Esq Ob 5 April 1826 Ae 41". The quatrefoil is met by enameled split shoulders with a Rococo style band. Hallmarked for being made in 18k in 1825. No city stamp, but it’s London.
