Jas [James] Lamb Ob 30 May 1805 Aet 88
A Georgian mourning ring made to honor the memory of James Lamb who died on the 30th of May 1805 at the age of 88. Originally, this ring would surely have held a locket with plaited hair, but at some point in time it was replaced with this tangerine-hued carnelian cabochon.
MATERIALS: 10k gold (tests), carnelian cabochon
AGE: dedicated in 1805
CONDITION: Very good - carnelian cabochon is probably a replacement for a hair locket
SIZE: 7.75, can be resized; 10.7mm head, 2.5mm shank
