Georgian 14k Gold and White Enamel Playing Card Ring circa 1780

This exceptionally rare antique enamel ring dates from the late 18th century and features an intriguing motif and motto. Showing three playing cards, with a heart, club and diamond on a beautiful deep brown background. This is all surrounded by the French motto "Le même succès en tout" - roughly translated as "equal success in all things." in gold lettering on white enamel. A rare authentic relic from the card-playing craze on the Georgian and Regency periods, when fortunes were made and lost in games such as whist. Perhaps it can bring you the luck that was intended for its original owner. Converted from a men's dress button sometime in the 20th century it is set on a modern 14k plain gold band.
