<p>[QUOTE=&quot;B.Stirling, post: 10553308, member: 91596&quot;]I&#039;ve had an interesting day. This morning I posted a Victorian ring I had researched for my mother... in my research I think I stumbled upon a couple of things in my own jewellery box.</p><p><br /></p><p>The first one is what I am guessing to be an art deco piece, but there are no markings to speak of anywhere on it. When I was looking at various antique rings online I&#039;ve seen similar ones called mourning rings. Dunno if that&#039;s what I have, I don&#039;t even know if it&#039;s actually art deco, it might be an imitation:</p><p><br /></p><p>[GALLERY=media, 12585]Art Deco Mourning Ring by B.Stirling posted Jul 16, 2025 at 7:29 PM[/GALLERY][GALLERY=media, 12586]Art Deco Mourning Ring-top by B.Stirling posted Jul 16, 2025 at 7:29 PM[/GALLERY][GALLERY=media, 12588]Art Deco Mourning Ring-side by B.Stirling posted Jul 16, 2025 at 7:29 PM[/GALLERY][GALLERY=media, 12587]Art Deco Mourning Ring-under by B.Stirling posted Jul 16, 2025 at 7:29 PM[/GALLERY] </p><p><br /></p><p>The second one is a complete accident, had no idea it was even an antique. I took it in to see about getting it resized, but confessed to the jeweller I knew nothing about it. When he was examining it he told me it was likely 1920s or earlier as the diamonds are older cut(but could not tell me what cut exactly only that they&#039;re not cut that way anymore) and told me that from what he could see of the heavily worn markings it was platinum. This was passed down from my mother-in-law when I gave birth to my son, but she didn&#039;t have a lot of info on it. I&#039;m wondering if there are any clues as to what era it&#039;s actually from, it looks so standard and even modern. Any hints on what country the style is from?</p><p>[GALLERY=media, 12580]Half Eternity1 by B.Stirling posted Jul 16, 2025 at 7:26 PM[/GALLERY][GALLERY=media, 12582]Half Eternity2 by B.Stirling posted Jul 16, 2025 at 7:26 PM[/GALLERY][GALLERY=media, 12581]Half Eternity underside by B.Stirling posted Jul 16, 2025 at 7:26 PM[/GALLERY][GALLERY=media, 12584]Half Eternity Markings by B.Stirling posted Jul 16, 2025 at 7:26 PM[/GALLERY] The markings on the last one are there if you squint, on the left but my camera wouldn&#039;t focus well, so might be pointless to post.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
