Georgian ‘GI’ Engraved Shield Ring

This is a unique 22ct shield signet ring that has been constructed from at least two separate wedding rings, possibly with a third very narrow band, soldered together with a gold shield that has had ‘GI’ hand engraved into it. Their are clear hallmarks from the London assay office that date them to 1825 and 1873. It is perhaps the case that these were rings from relatives that have been combined to make a memorial piece.
