A wonderful and rare ring from the Victorian period. The ring is made from blonde tortoiseshell and is a beautiful honey orange hue. The ring has a stunning domed shape allowing a soft golden glow to emanate from within. It is set with a 9ct gold monogram; the letters look to be FJ, though as is often the case, this is not wholly clear! They have been inlaid into the tortoiseshell in the manner of piqué. A wonderful and unusual piece.
