What is mourning ring?

A mourning ring is a piece of jewelry typically worn to remember and honor a loved one who has passed away. These rings have a long history and were popular in Western culture during the 16th to 19th centuries.

Mourning rings are often made of black materials such as jet or onyx, and may be engraved with the deceased person's name, date of death, or other personal details. Some rings also include symbols like weeping willows, urns, or angels to represent mourning and remembrance.

In addition to being worn as personal keepsakes, mourning rings were often given to close family members and friends as a way to commemorate the loss of a loved one and serve as a lasting tribute to their memory.
