About the Item

Victorian Mourning Ring with Purple Glass Stones A striking example of Victorian mourning jewellery, this ring features a central cluster of twelve purple glass (paste) stones, each set in pinch-style settings arranged in a cushion-shaped design. The stones are framed by a rose-colored border, and the centre contains a weave of brown hair, a hallmark feature of mourning rings designed to honour a loved one. The mourning ring is set on a later 9ct yellow gold shank, with split shoulders and decorative wirework. The ring head dates from the Victorian era, likely originally designed as a brooch before being converted into a ring with later modifications. Key Features: Date: Victorian Material: Purple glass (paste) stones set in a rose-colored border containing brown hair Setting: Later 9ct yellow gold shank with split shoulders and wirework decoration Weight: 5.21 grams Ring Size: Q Condition: Very good pre-owned condition, with age-related signs A sentimental and unique piece of Victorian history, ideal for collectors of mourning jewellery or those with an appreciation for 19th-century craftsmanship.
