Description: | A 19th Century gold finger ring. It is definitely 19th Century due to its shape and decoration. The ring survives intact, but has lost some of it decoration. The hoop is distorted. The shoulders are decorated with depressed cells, which terminate half way around the loop with an inwards pointing triangle. This cell continues around the bezel and encapsulates the bezel itself. Traces of black enamel remain and judging by the rough surface of the cell it would appear that this enamel would have extended across the entire area. The depressed cell also gives the bezel the appearance of having a raised border. The bezel in oval and flat and feature a flower. The flower has five petals and two leaves. It has been decorated with small pink glass/gem settings, one is missing. The reverse of the bezel is capped with a glass bung. Bezel size: 9.6mm x 7.8mm x 2.9mm
