FAQs

Georgian mourning rings, produced between 1714 and 1830, were created to commemorate deceased loved ones, often featuring symbolic motifs such as urns, weeping willows, hairwork, and dark gemstones like amethyst set in gold.

These pieces were typically handcrafted from low-to-high carat gold, such as 15ct, and incorporated natural gemstones, seed pearls, enamel, and occasionally woven human hair secured beneath glass crystal compartments.

Authentic items feature period-appropriate hand-cut stones, closed-back settings in early examples, hand-carved shanks, and lack modern laser hallmarks or contemporary casting seams.

Historic jewellery pieces are frequently displayed within velvet-lined glass shadow boxes, antique tabletop display cabinets, or worn as statement conversation pieces paired with contemporary attire.

Due to delicate seed pearls, closed-back foiled settings, and fragile historic bonds, these rings must be kept away from water, ultrasonic cleaners, and harsh chemicals, requiring professional gentle cleaning only.
