It was not uncommon for well-to-do Georgian gentlemen to allocate a sum of money in their will for the purchase of mourning attire and rings for close friends and family. Typically these rings would be gold and black enamel bands personalised with the deceased’s name in gold lettering but silhouette rings were also a popular choice, the plain black profile seeming appropriate to the occasion.
This fine silhouette ring comes from a private collection of long-standing. It depicts a gentleman wearing a frilled chemise, his pigtail wig neatly tied with ribbon. The profile is signed Miers under the bust-line and is set in an octagonal gold ring.
Ring size: O / 7½
