Antique navette Mourning Ring, black enamel and pearl, Ivy leaf, 9ct yellow gold

  

A beautiful antique early Art Deco era mourning ring. It is a navette shaped ring with an elongated central black enamelled panel set with three split pearls, the pearls arranged to form an ivy leaf. It has chunky raised shoulders and a smooth polished band with a slight D profile.

One of the things I love the most about this ring is the unusual ivy leaf design, the ivy symbolising eternity or love'evergreen. It is fully hallmarked for 9ct gold, Chester Assay office, 1915. A charming antique mourning ring with stacks of sentiment and character. It possibly had a glazed panel at the reverse at some point. Good used condition overall, some age commensurate surface wear and overall patina, some surface scratches and a small chip to the enamel at the bottom, not all the way through.

US ring size 5.5. EU ring size 50.58. Total weight 2.52 grams.

Approx 15mm length ring head and 2mm band width. This item is in the category "Jewellery & Watches\Vintage & Antique Jewellery\Mourning Jewellery". The seller is "stolenatticuk" and is located in this country: GB. This item can be shipped worldwide.
