This spectacular mourning band is of black enamel with accents of white enamel and bordered in gold accents. With its breathtaking miniature painting of a young girl, this ring is a fine example of the neoclassical influences of the Georgian period on mourning jewelry.

The urns painted in gold over white enamel, the garland or wreath surround, are all examples of the neocl...

Lava cameo brooch of Demeter (known to the Romans as Ceres) with a crown of wheat sheaves in her hair.
