Chairman's Notes

Mourning rings were popular in Britain from the early 17th century until the late 19th century, often worn to commemorate the life of an individual after their death. Black or white enamel was generally favoured, with white enamel often used to commemorate children and unmarried adults. Oman (1974, p73) notes that by the 17th century mourning rings had become something of a “status symbol”, with late-century rings (often set with crystal) being among the better executed examples.
