Greetings all,
I picked this ring up several years ago in Stockholm. It is 18 karat gold with an inaglio citrine(?) stone depicting a courant dog, fox or wolf with it's head looking back, with a Ducal coronet over the shield. I know, by the makers mark that it was made by a London silversmith who was active in the early 18th century, 1816-1835. From top to bottom ring measures about 2cm or 3/4". Any info of meaning of the origins of the crest would be much appreciated. Also, intaglio stone does have chipping to some edges.
Here are some pics. If you have any questions please ask. Also, is this the best forum for this?
