Description: | A silver finger ring, perhaps a signet ring, but with the cartouche on the bezel not engraved. It probably dates from the 19th century. The silver ring and bezel are made in one piece. The bezel is square and the shoulders each have two steps, stepped in width and height. The bezel is decorated with an oval panel or cartouche deliniated with engraved zig-zag lines, the oval reaching from corner to corner. The space within this oval is blank, but the outer areas are filled with wide, straight incised lines. There are no maker's marks on the hoop, but the reverse of the bezel is marked "SILVER" but this is exceedingly worn. The back of the hoop has broken but is complete.The finger ring is 17.3mm external diameter, 15.4mm internal diameter. The bezel is 6.7mm long and 6.8mm wide. The hoop is 1.2mm thick. 1.12g.
