  3. Hi
    thanks for calling me back. I am interested in the victorian mourning ring. I am in mourning and i find that there is little to symbolize that in our culture, but if i wore a ring like this then people would know. In victorian times there were, as you know symbolic jewelry, and people would know you were in mourning, now there is nothing. Anyway please let me know thank you..Jesse
