AN IMPORTANT JACOBITE SOCIETY OF SEA SERGEANTS' RING 18TH CENTURY the oval hardstone carved with a dolphin / sea serpent with sun radiating from behind, collet set within an oval setting, the shank with deeply cast shoulders with a butterfly and rose to both sides, the shank engraved Success to the Society Intaglio 7mm x 9mm Literature: Kelvin, M. (2003). The Jacobite Legacy. 1st ed. Wigtown: G C Book Publishers Ltd, p.136 (39) Note: The Jacobite Society of Sea Sergeants was based in West and South Wales. They convened once a year at a seaside location, often for a week at a time, and unlike some societies did have women present at meetings. The emblem and motto of the society can also be found on rare glassware (see The Jacobites and their Drinking Glasses, G. B. Seddon pp. 68 - 69, plate 7.). Since it is the only recorded example of fine quality, it would seem highly unlikely it was a standard piece owned or worn by all members. This perhaps suggest that this was worn by the chairman of the society.
