Georgian 18ct Gold, Cabochon Garnet & Natural Split Pearl Swivel Mourning Ring

34R
Rare Find
Written by Olly Gerrish

This is a fantastic 18ct Gold Georgian ring in great condition.  The top has been set with a cabochon garnet within a surround of natural split pearls. This swivels around to reveal a black enamel plaque with the words “Jane Hearsey Ob (died) 11 feb 1809 Ae (aged) 18. How sad as the black enamel tells us that she was already married so she could have died when bearing a  child which was common in those times. The pearls were used as a symbol of tears and the garnet was considered a symbol of love.  The pierced and fluted shoulders taper to a plain shank. This ring is in wonderful condition.
