18ct Gold Early Edwardian Onyx Enamel Mourning Ring IN MEMORY OF 1902 Memento Mori

£850.00

An antique mourning ring in 18ct yellow gold, featuring a black onyx centre surrounded by black enamel and gold “IN MEMORY OF” lettering, completed by a small cross.

Ornate floral shoulders feature sculpted blooms, curling leaves and delicate openwork, complementing the traditional memorial design.

Black onyx was used in mourning jewellery for its sombre colour. Here, alongside the memorial inscription, it evokes grief, remembrance and the enduring affection held for a loved one.

In excellent antique condition. The ring displays light age-related surface wear and patina. Please study the photographs carefully, including the close-ups of the enamel, setting and hallmarks, as these form part of the description.
