Item:  Rare hairwork ring with love birds

Reference #: 49011

Status: sold

Dimensions: approx. 3/4 inch by 1 inch; finger size 6.75

Condition: excellent to near mint; it looks like a piece of hair is missing from the border but I think that it was made that way.  The ring is virtually pristine and there is no lose hair inside. 

Year: 1810-30

Description:  This 18kt. rose gold ring is probably French.  The hairwork is on ivory and the quality of the workmanship is excellent.  It was surely a gift of love, not mourning. birds1.jpg and birds2.jpg and birds3.jpg
