18th century
For Sale by AC Silver
Description

A stunning, fine and impressive antique 1700s white paste and enamel, 18 carat yellow gold mourning ring; part of our diverse antique Georgian jewellery collections.

This stunning, fine and impressive antique Georgian mourning ring has been crafted in 18ct yellow gold.

The anterior face of the ring is embellished with an impressive collet set rectangular cut white paste.

The shank of the ring is ornamented with impressive white enamel panels incorporating the segmented inscription 'ANN FRECKLETON OB. 4 SEP. 1733 †T 30'*; this ring commemorates Ann Freckleton, who died aged 30, on 4th September 1733.

This stunning example of enamel jewellery has been independently tested using state of the art technology (Niton XL2 Analyzer) and verified as 18ct gold.

NOTE: * The initials 'OB' reference the word 'died', coming from the Latin word 'obitus', and the '†T' is the abbreviation of the Latin adjective 'aetatis' meaning 'at the age of'.

Strictly Vetted Dealers

Every single antique dealer on our platform is individually approved by our internal team. We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer. In fact, since our founding in 2002, Sellingantiques has only had to step in to help resolve an issue on roughly five occasions—a true testament to the quality of our dealers and their dedication to your happiness.

The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

FAQs

White enamel mourning rings were predominantly produced during the eighteenth century to commemorate the death of an unmarried individual or child, featuring inscribed details such as the name and age of the deceased.

Eighteenth-century mourning rings were crafted from high-carat yellow gold, detailed with enamelling techniques, and frequently set with rock crystal or paste stones over reflective metal foil.

Authentic pieces feature period-appropriate inscriptions with archaic abbreviations, scrollwork shank profiles, hand-applied enamelling, and rub-over collet settings around the stones.

Historic jewellery pieces can be showcased inside custom velvet-lined shadow boxes, mounted within glass collector frames, or placed atop decorative trays on a dressing table.

Gold and enamel items should be kept away from moisture to prevent foil deterioration beneath set stones, wiped gently with a clean microfibre cloth, and stored away from harsh chemicals.
