It’s a truly exceptional, and rare, piece of history in remarkable condition. The gold has tarnished beautifully over time, with the majority of the enamel intact. The inside of the ring is engraved: ‘W*A*ob*10*May*14.’ This is highly unusual, especially to find the use of star symbols acting as spacers between characters and numbers. The side of the ring is also beautifully detailed with a delicate stippled motif. Some remains of original hallmarks are present but illegible. Similar pieces can only be found in museums or major jewellery collections. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003ePlace Of Origin\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUnited Kingdom\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFinish \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEnamel \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBand Dimensions\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e4.7mm\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMetal Type\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHigh carat, 18-22 carat gold\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMarks Engraved\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eW*A*ob*10*May*14\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDate Of Manufacture\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e1750 - 1790\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePeriod Of Manufacture\u003cbr\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.antiqueringboutique.com\/pages\/georgian\" title=\"https:\/\/www.antiqueringboutique.com\/pages\/georgian\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGeorgian\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCondition\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVery good - small chips to the enamel\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSigns Of Wear\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMinor wear to mount commensurate with age\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBand Size \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUK K 1\/2 \/ US 5.5 (cannot be re-sized)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBox \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eComplete with period box\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ctable background=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0310\/0442\/6375\/files\/Sammy-Loves-Circle_750x750.jpg?v=1611338418\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 37%;\"\u003e\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 5%;\"\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 57%;\"\u003e\n\u003ch4 style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eWhy Sammy loves it...\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eThe character and charm of this ring, makes it not only extremely rare, but also extremely valuable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 1%;\"\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Antique Ring Boutique","offers":[{"title":"Georgian","offer_id":42789790417125,"sku":"ARB-91","price":11760.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0310\/0442\/6375\/products\/Early_Gold_MementoMoriRing-Front.jpg?v=1610732284","url":"https:\/\/www.antiqueringboutique.com\/en-au\/products\/early-gold-memento-mori-ring","provider":"Antique Ring Boutique","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
