1776 Georgian Era White Enamel Mourning Ring of 20k Gold
Located in Lewisburg, PA
A rare and historically evocative Georgian mourning ring dated 1776, crafted in 20 karat gold and adorned with white enamel, a color traditionally associated with remembrance and purity. The band bears the inscription “Wm McPHEADRIS ESQ: OB: 14 JAN: 1776 AET :55,” commemorating the life and passing of William McPhaedris at the age of 55—an intimate and poignant artifact of 18th-century memorial tradition. William McPheadris, Esq. was a member of London’s prestigious Inner Temple and son of John McPheadris. John's brother was Captain Archibald MacPheadris, a wealthy merchant and member of the King’s Council in Portsmouth, New Hampshire, whose home—now known as the Warner House—is a National Historic Landmark. Dated 1776—the pivotal year of American independence and now its 250th anniversary—this ring embodies a striking transatlantic narrative, linking the British legal world with prominent colonial families at the very moment the two were being irrevocably divided. The use of white enamel is particularly meaningful, signifying that he died unmarried, a detail that aligns with his known biography. The ring measures 3mm in width and weighs 5.41 grams, offering a refined and understated presence consistent with Georgian mourning jewelry...
