Georgian 9ct Gold Hair and Seed Pearl Mourning Ring

18th century
For Sale by Corvidae Antique
Description

This antique gold ring keeps safe the hair of a loved one beneath a tiny glass plaque framed with a halo of tiny seed pearls (each 1-1.5mm in diameter).

The shoulders of the piece are decorated with beautiful scrollwork engraving which is very well preserved and extends halfway around the band.

There are no [remaining] hallmarks but we guarantee the gold to be minimum nine-carat fineness.

In good antique condition. All the pearls still have a lovely nacre; one is darker than the others with a small centre of pearly white. The surface of the glass/rock crystal has some well-worn pits but no chips or cracks.

Size: Q and a half (UK), 8.5 (US). The oval face of the ring measures 8 x 10mm and sits quite flat, around 2mm above the finger. The band is 1.5mm at the back - it's a very light and easy ring to wear.

Weight: 1.9g.

Declaration

Corvidae Antique has dated this Georgian Gold Mourning Ring to the Georgian era.

FAQs

A Georgian mourning ring is a commemorative piece of jewellery crafted during the 18th or early 19th century, traditionally commissioned to honour the memory of a deceased individual.

These rings were commonly constructed using high-carat or 9ct gold, often incorporating seed pearls, woven hairwork, black or white enamel, and protective glass panels.

Authentic pieces frequently exhibit hand-engraved scrollwork, closed-back gemstone settings, period hallmarking, and intricate hairwork preserved beneath glass compartments.

A Georgian mourning ring can be worn as a singular focal piece on the index or ring finger, or layered alongside slender minimalist gold bands.

Keep the ring dry and avoid exposure to liquids or chemicals, as moisture can damage organic elements like hair compartments and seed pearls. Clean gently using a dry, soft cloth.
