A Georgian mourning ring dated 1776!!

Yes! It's hard to believe, but this ring was crafted in England the very same year THE United States of America was founded!! Making this a truly rare heirloom.

Finely composed around an oval glazed plaque delicately painted with the classical urn and weeping willow—touching symbols of remembrance. The miniature is framed by a tight halo of deep pink‑red faceted Garnets in individual closed collets, while the slim shank is enriched with engraving, milgrain detail and a black enamel cartouche.

Elegant and intimate in scale, the rich Garnet halo adds a glowing border to the serene central scene. The 18ct Gold mount, decorative shoulders and enamelled band complete a beautifully preserved late 18th‑century jewel with enduring sentiment and charm.
