Yellow gold (385) political ring with oval top encircled by a frieze of pearls and adorned with a pivoting miniature under glass depicting the portrait of Frederick II of Prussia (1712-1786), wearing the plaque of the Royal Order of the Black Eagle.
The ring is underlined by an applied twisted wire.
No hallmark.
18th century.
Gross weight: 7.4 g. - Finger size: 60 - Miniature: approx. 20 x 17 mm.
On the reverse of the miniature, an element (another miniature, hair...?) is missing, revealing a copper plate.
A few scratches and minor knocks.
This portrait is to be compared with an engraving of a portrait of the Re di Prussia, oval view, with the same jacket and the plaque of the Order of the Black Eagle, but shown in profile [Getty images].
