Victorian Mourning Ring with Purple Glass Stones � 1850�1880This Victorian mourning ring is centred with twelve purple glass (paste) stones, set in pinch-style settings. The stones are arranged in a cushion-shaped design, framed by a rose-coloured border, with brown hair woven into the centre � a classic and poignant feature of mourning rings.The head of the ring, dating from the mid-Victorian period (1850�1880), was likely originally designed as a brooch before being converted into a ring. It is mounted on a later 9ct yellow gold shank, featuring split shoulders and decorative wirework.Key Features:Date: 1850�1880, VictorianMaterial: Purple glass (paste) stones, rose-coloured border, brown hairSetting: Later 9ct yellow gold shank with split shoulders and wireworkWeight: 5.21 gramsRing Size: QVery good antique conditionAll items offered by Treasure Trove Worcester Ltd are carefully selected for their authenticity, decorative appeal, and period character.
