A nostalgic and impassioned example of Antique Mourning Ring dating back to the Georgian Era, Late 1700’s.
The front scene of the Navette depicts a young woman in classical drapes weeping by an urn and pedestal with a weeping willow overhead. The inscription 'Not lost but gone before' which is found on the pedestal of the funerary urn refers to the hope that the deceased and their loved ones would be reunited in heaven. The ground at the bottom of the funerary scene is made up of chopped hair. Hair was often used in sentimental and mourning jewel as a durable and tactile memorial of the donor.
The back of the bezel is inscribed “Joseph Marshall Ob 16 Sep 1788”.
In pristine condition, with some minor moisture under the glass commensurate with age.
