Description: This 9kt. rose gold sepia ring is truly a one of a kind.  On the front is a unique sepia painting on ivory.  I cannot be 100% certain that this is a memorial piece but sometimes, in early Central European memorial rings, some aspect of the persons life was depicted on the memorial ring instead of a tomb or un.   As you can see, the sepia painting is very crisp and clear.  One of the other unique aspects about this ring is that its top is hinged! Note also the lovely chase work around the sepia picture.  This ring feels great on.  to see other views:  6182a.jpg and 6182b.jpg
