FAQs

Victorian mourning jewellery encompasses pieces worn to commemorate the deceased, heavily popularised following the death of Prince Albert in 1861, often incorporating symbolic motifs and dark gemstones.

These rings frequently utilised high-carat yellow gold, banded agate or sardonyx, seed pearls representing tears, and black enamel alongside human hair worked into intricate compartments.

Authenticity is determined by examining hand-carved stone details, closed-back settings, historical hallmarks indicating gold fineness, and signs of age-appropriate wear and oxidisation.

An antique ring pairs effectively with contemporary minimalist bands to create a textured stack, or can be worn alone as a focal point on the hand.

Historic jewellery should be stored individually in soft pouches, kept away from harsh chemical ultrasonic cleaners, and handled with care to protect soft gemstones and delicate settings.
