Description
A Prince of Wales Royal Presentation ring, late 18th/early 19th century, each shoulder with the Prince of Wales feathers issuing from a coronet, and set throughout with old-cut diamonds, the bezel applied with a natural half-pearl within a coronet setting, the shank modelled as a blue enamelled garter with buckle, with gilt letters showing partial motto: ‘HONI......PENSE’, unmarked, (pearl untested) ring size M½. £2,000-£3,000
---
Provenance: Formerly the property of 1st Earl Mountbatten of Burma, thence by family descent.
The ring probably relates to George Augustus Frederick (1862-1830), eldest son of King George III and Queen Charlotte, and Prince of Wales from his birth until he acted as Prince Regent for his father George III during his final years of mental illness, from 1811-1820, and subsequently became King George IV.
The shank is of small/medium size so perhaps was a gift to a lady from the Prince of Wales to mark a significant occasion, either personal or of more national interest.
According to a PMI test on the XRF Analyzer the gold mount tests as 18ct gold.
Condition Report
Some enamel loss and evidence of partial enamel repairs particularly visible beneath the coronet shoulders. A few diamonds missing to both ‘feathers’ at the shoulders.
Gross weight 9.5gm.
