La parte frontal del anillo está decorada con perlas de semilla y tres piedras preciosas de color rosa-púrpura de talla rosa. Estas piedras probablemente sean granates, pero también podrían ser amatistas o incluso rubíes, según un joyero que examinó las piedras. Por ahora, es imposible determinar con exactitud qué son sin sacarlas de su delicado engaste, por lo que, basándonos en la popularidad y el uso común de los granates durante este período, es muy probable que sea la piedra utilizada aquí. También hay un panel de cristal detrás del cual se encuentra un mechón de cabello humano. En el reverso del anillo, una inscripción dice: “Mary (apellido ilegible) Ob (fallecida) 6 de agosto de 1821 aet (edad) 62”.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e Lo que es particularmente interesante de esta pieza es que la inscripción continúa en cada lado del aro del anillo, aparentemente conteniendo fechas de defunción de varias personas. Parece que alguna vez rodeó todo el aro, aunque ahora falta parte debido a lo que parece ser un cambio de tamaño o una reparación. En cualquier caso, personalmente no he visto otro anillo de luto con inscripciones tan extensas que continúen en el aro como este, ni he visto un solo anillo que conmemore a varias personas, por lo que este anillo me parece único.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e Notas sobre el estado: Al comprarlo en subasta, faltaba una perla sembrada, que ha sido reemplazada posteriormente. El panel de cristal de la parte frontal está un poco borroso, lo que dificulta la visión del detalle del cabello que hay debajo. Aparecen marcas de soldadura en la parte posterior del anillo, lo que sugiere que se modificó el tamaño en algún momento. Aproximadamente la mitad de la inscripción sigue siendo legible, aunque es lo suficientemente pequeña como para que sea útil usar una lupa para leerla por completo, pero la otra mitad de la inscripción es ilegible\/está demasiado desgastada para poder distinguirla con precisión. Es probable que el metal sea oro de 9 quilates, pero no se ha probado. Talla del anillo: 8,5 US.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Old Curiosity Jewels","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46858230563051,"sku":null,"price":1750.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0782\/3029\/0667\/files\/fff81be0-il_fullxfull.7243932715_9zjv.jpg?v=1757888216"},{"product_id":"the-hester-antique-late-georgian-flat-cut-foil-back-garnet-paste-gilt-bracelet","title":"Pulsera Hester ~ Antigua de finales del período Georgiano, con engaste plano y parte trasera de lámina, pasta de granate y baño de oro.","description":"\u003cp\u003eConozca a Hester: La protagonista de Nathaniel Hawthorne, Hester Prynne, se vio obligada a soportar la vergüenza de llevar la Letra Escarlata, asociando así infamemente ese nombre y color con la vergüenza y una connotación negativa.  Aquí no es así. En Old Curiosity Jewels, Hester es un color escarlata profundo, rico y jugoso, pero lo luce sin complejos. No esconde su riqueza, rareza o lo que la hace especial.  Así como, si Hester Prynne estuviera viva hoy (y fuera real), la honraríamos por su compasión, resiliencia y fuerza interior, en lugar de hacerla esconder lo que la hace única.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e La Hester es una encantadora y delicada pulsera antigua dorada de finales de la época georgiana. Está engastada con las piedras más encantadoras, ricas y brillantes (se presume que son granates, pero no se han probado, por lo que la vendo como una pulsera de piedras de pasta). Las pastas de granate están en engastes de cierre posterior tipo \"pie crust\" con lámina en la parte inferior de las piedras, lo que realza aún más su brillo (el agua puede dañar los engastes con lámina, por lo que es importante no mojar la pulsera). La pulsera se cierra con un cierre de lengüeta y ranura, con el cierre de la lengüeta ingeniosamente oculto dentro de uno de los engastes de piedra. Este tipo de cierre es fantástico, ¡porque es uno que puedes abrocharte tú misma! El engaste de oro también tiene una encantadora pátina que delata un poco su edad, pero está bien, porque el envejecimiento es hermoso. Normalmente, me gusta limpiar y pulir mis piezas antiguas a fondo, pero había algo en la pátina dorada de esta que funcionaba tan maravillosamente con las piedras, que decidí dejarla tal cual. Solo puedo imaginar la delicada muñeca que debió adornar hace unos cientos de años... dónde ha estado, las cenas, los bailes y las veladas que ha presenciado, siendo testigo del romanticismo de épocas pasadas mientras brillaba a la luz de las velas.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e La pulsera Hester mide 6.5 pulgadas cuando la lengüeta está insertada y 7 pulgadas en total cuando está desabrochada y se añade la longitud de la lengüeta. Peso total: 13,26 gramos. Sin marcar y sin probar, pero parece ser una aleación dorada que no es de oro. Tenga en cuenta que se trata de una pieza antigua, con más de 100 años de antigüedad. Como tal, es una pieza de segunda mano y no está en perfectas condiciones. Las piezas antiguas casi siempre tienen indicios de pátina, desgaste superficial, pequeños golpes y otros signos acordes con su antigüedad.
