This spectacular mourning band is of black enamel with accents of white enamel and bordered in gold accents.

Here is a lovely antique ring in unmarked but tested 18kt rose gold. The center stone is a ruby cut in an old style, but in really excellent condition. (It’s possible that it’s a replacement stone.)

Typically for the period, a couple of them are chipped or have feathers (inclusions). The ring is a size 8-1/4, and could be sized...

Jewelry scholars believe these were actually made in Belgium (a French region at the time) where they were known as “croix à la Jeannette” (Jeanette crosses).

This example retains all three of its original parts, each worked in gold and silver and set with table cut diamonds. Croix ...
