Late 18th Century Portrait Miniature Ring Of A Lady

About the Item

Georgian portrait miniature ring, set with glass on top, all within a setting of 18kt gold. The portrait of an elegant woman in full-length bust. Neoclassical portrait rings of this type emerged around 1780, replacing the circular and oval-faced rococo portrait rings of the 1750-1760, and can the characterized by three distinguishing traits: a large octagonal ring face; a marked curvature to the ring head, to mold against the finger; and often a flaring shank with elegant and beveled contours throughout. Size 11 Weight: 6gr. The octagonal miniature measures 28mm x 15mm. The MFA jewelry collection is compact but diverse, with strength in ancient jewelry from the Egyptian and Greco-Roman worlds. Several unusual or well-crafted 18th c European octagonal plaque rings are also noteworthy.
