{"product_id":"18th-century-mourning-ring","title":"Georgian 'In Memory Of' Mourning Ring with Natural Pearls in 18k Gold","description":"\u003cp\u003eA Victorian mourning ring that has carried two remembrances. Made in the late 18th century, the band reads \u003cstrong\u003eIN MEMORY OF\u003c\/strong\u003e in gold letters set against black enamel, punctuated by three natural pearls — the Georgian emblem of tears.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlmost a century later, the family member who inherited it had the inside engraved \u003cem\u003e“My Mother Sept 5th 1913,”\u003c\/em\u003e turning an heirloom of mourning into a memorial of their own. One ring, two generations of love, both still legible in the gold.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe band tapers from 6.6 mm across the face to a slim 2.2 mm at the back, so it wears easily on its own or stacked with other antique bands. The enamel shows honest wear from two centuries on the hand — original, unrestored, and exactly what collectors look for in a true mourning ring.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEra:\u003c\/strong\u003e Georgian Sheffield, \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eHallmarked circa 1838\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMaterials:\u003c\/strong\u003e 18k yellow gold, black enamel with natural half pearls\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStones:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3 graduated natural pearls, 3.0–2.2 mm\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMarkings:\u003c\/strong\u003e “IN MEMORY OF” in enamel; hallmarked; later inside inscription “My Mother Sept 5th 1913” \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 6.6 mm at the face, tapering to 2.2 mm\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3.0 grams\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRing Size:\u003c\/strong\u003e US 6.75.
