Early Victorian 18ct Gold Ring set with Lapis Lazuli in a Trefoil Design

643P
Rare Find
Written by Olly Gerrish

An interesting 18ct gold ring that was made circa 1840. It has been set with a piece of lapis lazuli cut in to a trefoil design. The shank is a twig or branch design with foliate engraving. It says in Italian “Leggi edi e tace” “Read and be silent”. What an appropriate thing to do in these Covid times!
