AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
18K gold reliquary ring, oval shaped, under glass, adorned with Christ on the cross on a fabric background. (glass crack) Late 18th century. Gross weight 5.71 g. Ring size: 56.
Rare antique devotional ring, tested for gold, featuring a miniature cross under glass, mounted on a light textile background. The gilded crucifix on the cross, accompanied by the INRI titulus, is carefully worked in relief within an oval, relic-like setting.
The reverse is smooth, well finished, and the ring band shows a lovely antique patina. The jewelry has been tested with a touchstone and reacts positively to gold (estimated quality 14 carats). This is very likely a devotional ring, worn by a clergyman or a devout person in the 18th century.
Condition: Very good overall; minimal wear, small chip to the glass visible in the photos.
The photos are an integral part of the object descriptions and complement their presentation. Please examine them carefully before any bidding.
It will be very well packed and protected to arrive to you quickly by insured postal parcel with tracking.
Happy bidding!
