An extremely fine example of a mourning band. The enamel on this ring is almost perfect considering its age - it looks like this ring was never worn. It's hard to pick up the crispness in images.

Condition: Near perfect. Some minor discolouration of the white enamel and minor wear in places - however the pictures look far worse than the real life ring. Gold content untested but likely to be 18ct gold. No hallmarks.
