<p>[QUOTE="Snilda, post: 4318578, member: 24055"]This is really interesting, thank you! I only know what the shop had listed it as, and I never really thought about it until I started looking at the front more and realized it was very similar to the specific designs of the crown used by the three Georges of Britain. It could certainly be more indicative of other ones used in the 19th c onward. I’ll try to add the photos of those so you can see what I mean with the specific details.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]352548[/ATTACH]</p><p>State crown of the Georgian kings</p><p>Imperial state crown</p><p>[ATTACH=full]352549[/ATTACH]</p><p>I just can’t figure out why the ring would have the very specific details that are like these crowns unless it was meant as some sort of nod to perhaps a coronation - maybe a celebration like a jubilee or something?
