Onyx Petite Parlor Ring

$95.00

This petite edition of our bestselling Parlor Ring features a midnight black onyx at its center. Onyx is an enduring symbol—most popular in Victorian Europe—of melancholy and mourning. More modern symbolism of onyx ties it to grounding the wearer and strengthening ones bond with the Earth. It rests in an antique style Belcher setting, which references the Victorian fretwork and Gothic architecture that was popular at the time. It’s surrounded by a matching enamel exterior.

The Onyx Petite Parlor Ring is a moody yet delicate introduction to our mourning rings. Its slim profile lends the ring to be stacked with many other designs - try it stacked with another Parlor Ring, or an even more dramatic pairing with a mourning ring.

MOURNING JEWELRY

Mourning jewelry was popularized by Queen Victoria's infamous 4-decade-long mourning period after the tragic passing of her true love, Prince Albert. She was known to wear only black jewels, thus starting a new trend in jewelry across the land. By the time this fashion trickled down to the aristocracy, imagery in mourning jewelry became softer and more sentimental - featuring black stones and pearls.

Antique mourning rings are incredible symbols of love, life, and death in our pasts - however they are often hidden away in private collections of the wealthy and elite, fetching thousands of dollars at auctions.

We have reimagined these symbols to be accessible to all people who wish to wear them.
