[seven_columns]This extraordinary memorial ring of oval form depicting a woman in a white empire dress beside the funerary urn of her dearly departed and framed by a young weeping willow and a mature conifer. Carved from white mother of pearl, ivory and highlighted by gold on an engraved gold background emulating quilted fabric set under a crystal cover mounted in rose gold.
This is one of the most pristine and exquisite examples of this form that I have ever come across, a true collector’s item.
