Rare late 17th century seven stone diamond cluster finger ring of bow form from the Iberian Peninsula. This cluster ring is set with 7 table-cut deep diamonds totaling almost 1 carat in rubbed over settings. The arrangement of the diamonds, with the central stone flanked by two rows of three, resembles a bow. The bow motif first appeared in jewelry in the 17th century France in the court of Louis the XIV and soon spread throughout Europe. Bow themed jewels were seen in the gowns worn during the period and in the form of jeweled brooches and finger rings. The 7 diamonds are designed to sparkle in candlelight and are foiled in closed back settings. The back is crafted in a flat basket shape with curvaceous baroque gold-work along the raised edges. The colorful multi colored enamel applied to white enamel at the back of this ring is a feature of this ring. The colors reflect the influence of the Spanish Netherlands to the North of Spain, (Belgium, Luxembourg) and the influence of the Dutch to the north, known for their beautiful and ornate enamel work on tiles and in decoration particularly seen inthe ceramic tiles of Seville (see photos of tilework form the Baroque period). Enameling was applied to the backs of Iberian rings...

A rare and historically evocative Georgian mourning ring dated 1776, crafted in 20 karat gold and adorned with white enamel, a color traditionally associated with remembrance and purity. The band bears the inscription “Wm McPHEADRIS ESQ: OB: 14 JAN: 1776 AET :55,” commemorating the life and passing of William McPhaedris at the age of 55—an intimate and poignant artifact of 18th-century memorial tradition. William McPheadris, Esq. was a member of London’s prestigious Inner Temple and son of John McPheadris. John's brother was Captain Archibald MacPheadris, a wealthy merchant and member of the King’s Council in Portsmouth, New Hampshire, whose home—now known as the Warner House—is a National Historic Landmark. Dated 1776—the pivotal year of American independence and now its 250th anniversary—this ring embodies a striking transatlantic narrative, linking the British legal world with prominent colonial families at the very moment the two were being irrevocably divided. The use of white enamel is particularly meaningful, signifying that he died unmarried, a detail that aligns with his known biography. The ring measures 3mm in width and weighs 5.41 grams, offering a refined and understated presence consistent with Georgian mourning jewelry...
