Description
Antique Georgian 18ct gold forget me not turquoise & diamond memorial ring, c1880. A central rose cut diamond(approximately 0.04ct), surrounded by 6 turquoise cabochons & finished with fine open work to the shoulders. At the centre back of the gallery is a glass locket area where the plaited hair of a loved one can be seen. Not marked but tests as 18ct gold. The glass is still intact which is so often missing in a ring of this age. An absolutely fantastic example & comes complete with a gift box.
