Contact us about this item

This exquisite antique fine gold mourning ring, dating to circa 1790, is a poignant example of 18th-century sentimental jewellery, crafted to honor and remember a lost loved one.

Made from high-quality fine gold, the ring features an elongated oval bezel with a glass or crystal cover protecting a delicate mourning tableau beneath.

The miniature memorial scene showcases a finely detailed sepia-painted or enameled urn resting on a pedestal, engraved with the initials “D.J.”, symbolizing the deceased. This urn is surrounded by the weeping willow, a popular motif representing sorrow and eternal remembrance.

The bezel is subtly enhanced with a delicate blue enamel border, adding contrast and elegance, while the simple tapered gold band complements the design, ensuring the focus remains on the sentimental artwork.

Mourning rings were widely worn in the Georgian era (1714-1837) as deeply personal keepsakes, often incorporating hairwork, urn imagery, and enamel details to create a lasting tribute.

This piece remains in excellent antique condition, preserving its intricate details despite being over 230 years old. Mourning jewellery from this period is highly collectible, particularly when featuring personalized inscriptions or high-quality craftsmanship like this ring.

A rare and moving piece, this Georgian mourning ring is not only a historical artifact but also a timeless symbol of love, loss, and memory.
