This Georgian era ring dates to a time when the British Royal Navy was battling Napoleon’s French fleet. Very likely made as a love token for
an admiral’s wife to wear while he was away at sea. Being a fragile micro carving it is a rare piece. The warship is set under crystal on a hand painted ground of waves with flat cut garnets
surrounding the bezel. A similar ring can be found at The British Museum in London.
