Description

People started making memorial jewellery because there was no photography, and if your loved one died and you wanted something as a touchstone to remember them every day this was the main way that people remembered their departed loved ones.

This Mourning ring is so fascinating and boasts fabulous workmanship.

This ring dates 1859 and has a young Victorian head within the hallmark.  The ring contains 15 sparkling old cut rose Diamonds set within a cross design enveloped in black enamel and beautiful edged engraving.
