Description
What a super looking 18th century-circa 1780-George III mourning ring this is! The solid 9k gold oval face has been decorated with a weeping willow hanging over a memorial urn, the original domed crystal cover has a fabulous halo of glowing foiled back purple (most likely paste) stones which have a lovely sugar loaf cabochon cut, the ring with a very pretty Celtic design solid 18k yellow gold band with twisting oval circles with open centers. The ring is unmarked, the band tests for 18k gold and the head for 9k gold.
The ring is approximately a size 5 1/2.
The ring measures about 14mm x 12mm across the face. The stones are about +/-1mm. The crystal measures about 11mm x 9mm. The ring rises about 4mm above the finger and weighs approximately 3.7 grams.
The ring has 250 years of all over wear but is perfectly wearable and looks great on the finger. Three stones are missing, the others have wear, the painting is worn. The band has a repair near where it meets the head. The original crystal is in good condition. Please check all the pictures, they form part of the description.

TERMS OF SALE & RETURNS
We make great efforts to honestly and accurately describe each item we list. We back this up with many photographs, all with a close-up zoom option for detailed inspection. Due to the majority of our items being antique/vintage and often unique it can be difficult to determine age and as such all our items are sold 'as is'. However, if we are not certain about the age of an item we will either not mention an age or say the item is being sold as a later or modern piece and then leave it up to more experienced buyers to determine the exact age. Items are not returnable if it was not of the age/value you were hoping it to be with no exceptions. If we place a date on an item we guarantee it to be of that period or earlier. If you require further pictures or more information about an item, please let us know prior to bidding or purchase. Items cannot be returned for any condition issues either shown in the pictures or mentioned in the listing. As many items we sell are one hundred years or older we will not accept returns for wear consistent with the item's age. Any item mentioned as sold 'as is' in the listing will not be eligible for any form of return or refund. If it is determined an item is eligible for a return, the item must be shipped back within 48 hours, insured and tracked. A restocking fee may apply. We are very easy to work with and welcome any and many questions during our listings, so please let us know if you have one! Thanks again for looking!
