Antique 1870s English 10K gold and paste mourning ring
A beautiful mourning ring for a gentleman who died in 1879 at the age of 76 years. "William Hales" and his death date are engraved in a pretty hand on the underside of the ring face, with the top being set with a black paste ("French Jet"). The stone is trimmed with a briar-like enamel accent and further enamel work zig-zags down the shoulders. Evidence of resizing that likely removed hallmarks. English in origin. Wear consistent with age. Note: I was able to locate Mr. Hale's grave (last photo!)
Measurements: Size 4 1/2 US, 2.5 grams
