Description

Antique Georgian ring. 18k gold, pearls. Made in France, circa 1820.
Measurements: Weight is 5.0 grams. US size 7.5
Description : Made during the Romantic period in France. Oval bezel with a border of small pearls. Within is a reserve under glass for displaying a portrait, hair, or any other memento of a loved one. Currently, it is vacant and looks lovely as plain gold. Simple, furrowed shank divides into 3 at the shoulders. The special part of this ring is that the back opens. As can be seen from the pictures, there is a hinged door, which lifts in order to insert an object under the glass. Hinge and clasp are in very good, working order.  Very pretty and elegant ring that will match any outfit.  Lovely workmanship.
Marks and Metal:  French hallmark on outside of shank is not clearly legible.
Condition: Good with negligible wear commensurate with age.  Please see enlarged pictures and don't hesitate to ask questions which we will do our best to answer.
