Antique Georgian Black Enamel Mourning Ring with Urn Motif, 18k Gold

A classic Greco-Roman Urn centers this endearing memorial ring. The inscription reads 'Charles Purdy OB 7 Sep 1808 AET 20'. Makes you wonder how much Charles packed into his 20 years.

This lovely ring tests as 18 karat gold, it has wonderful black enamel and a great neoclassical style. The shaped shoulders and scrolling mounting are all definitive in their revival style. The enamel on this ring is in slightly rough condition. It weighs 3.7 grams. It's a size 7.25 and would be quite difficult to size. A truly outstanding example of a Georgian Mourning ring.
