A gorgeous late 18th century grisaille (grey) miniature portrait ring. It is set in a large rectangular octagon shaped frame with a beautiful greyish blue background. The ring would have been worn by a lover or a family member. The ring is 18k rose gold, and bears a French owl hallmark with the number '75'. (see the photo.)
This French import mark (1893 - present) indicates that the ring was examined by French assay office. The number '75' is a region number for Paris, so it shows that the ring was marked in Paris. It looks striking on with its large scale, and overall condition is good. The ring is currently US size 7.75 and resizable within moderation.
