Gently arched back. Gold, navette-shaped border with bright cut engraved decoration in concetric rings. Within is a particularly lovely miniature eye portrait. The blond/light brown curls and blushed cheek are clearly those of a young lady. Golden eye or iris. The navette shape is particularly well suited to this form of portrait. The gold engraving is of a beautiful, high standard. Large and clear, it makes a great ring that could be worn by a man or a woman. In fact, it was probably given to a man at the time. The ring would have been made during the youth of the young lady whose eye is portrayed. After her death it was engraved on the back: Margaret Pyke 06 April 1784 Ot 45. Marks and Metal: No marks, as is to be expected of a ring of this age. Gold was acid tested to ensure metal purity. Condition: Good with negligible wear on the back commensurate with age.
