Georgian 9ct Gold Tipped Garnet & Natural Split Pearl Mourning Ring

128S
Written by Olly Gerrish

This rather eccentric late Georgian ring was made in 1815. It is 9ct gold and has been set with a foiled back faceted garnet. Around it are natural split pearls. The shank is typical of the Georgian period with a reeded and entwined motif. Engraved on the reverse is Phil Tubb ob (died) 24th may 1815 At (aged) 18.

I love the tipped design, perhaps it meant that he had sadly fallen off his perch!
