14K Georgian Cameo & Seed Pearl Ring of Historical Importance

This exquisite ring showcases a finely carved onyx cameo, encircled by a delicate halo of luminous seed pearls. Beneath its elegant façade lies a remarkable detail, a testament to the craftsmanship and ingenuity of its era. Three solid gold pins unite the halo to the shank, revealing its history as a skillful conversion piece, likely once part of a more elaborate jewel or parure.

To add to its charm, this ring is said to have come from the estate of Major General Benjamin Lincoln, a key figure of the American Revolutionary War ,who served as George Washington’s second-in-command and accepted the British surrender at Yorktown in 1781.
