A mourning ring is a ring worn on the finger in memory of someone who has died. Usually, a mourning ring has the name and date of the loved one’s death and can even have an image on it. Others may choose to select a particular stone, for example a black enamel, which is associated with mourning.
The use of these rings can be traced back to the middle ages and have evolved over the years. These type of rings can be a meaningful symbol and connection to our loved one and can be a way to keep them present in our daily lives. You can choose to design a ring that is unique to you and your loved one and even make various rings for the entire family to wear.
