Antique 10K, Carnelian, Seed Pearl & Plaited Hair Conversion Ring on Vintage 9K Band lace pin perfect for cameo collectors andMourning jewelry became popular during the 18th century, when sentiment, both sorrowful and romantic, began to be expressed in a more allegorical style. In some pieces, the hair of the deceased was woven into intricate plaits and made into necklaces, watch chains, bracelets, and even earrings. Some were kept under glass in a locket, brooch, or ring, such as this example. This conversion ring was most likely a pin, then was later converted into a ring.
