Late 17th, or perhaps early 18th century gold mourning ring black enamelled with a gold skeleton accompanied by an hourglass and crossed pick and shovel
Inscribed inside NEVER LOST BUT GONE BEFORE

A superb, heavy (7.3g), example in excellent condition having only minor losses to the enamel.

Circa 1700

The inscription is particularly nice, being sentimental rather than a specific obituary
