Description
YEAR 1762 SOUVENIR HAIR RING The oval top is adorned with braided hair set in violet stones. Set in 14K yellow gold, enameled with the inscription "Robert Paul Esq. ob 19 June 1762 AE 76". Gross weight: 1.76 gr. Finger size: 55. Tray dimensions: 1.3 x 1.2 cm. A MOURNING RING UNDENIABLY DATED 1762 A little rarity, the original enamel inscription written in Latin declares that this is the hair of Robert PAUL, Esquire, who died on June 19, 1762 at the age of 76.
