Gold ring with garnet stones and a micro ivory carving. English origin. Late 18th century.

The warship is set under crystal with gold cannon details, on a hand-painted wave background flanked by armed walls. The scene is surrounded by flat cut shells. Detail of the reverse with reeds.

This ring was certainly given here as a love token by a high officer to his sweetheart. Possibly it was made by the same jeweller as this ring, and perhaps the commissioner and the wearer were the same.
