<p>[QUOTE="B.Stirling, post: 10553432, member: 91596"]A wedding ring would make sense for something to be passed down in the family, especially since my mother-in-law insists this goes to the next mother in the family when they have their first born son. When I took my jeweller's loop to the back side the bottom of the gems looked pointed. The tops looked tall like old miner's, but not enough facets or flatness for a brilliant cut(at least from what I've tried to look up). So maybe they're old European?</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Good to know. I am going to have to look into what makes a mourning ring a mourning ring a little more.
