Victorian Onyx Ring at Anthropologie

Two jewelry trends of the Victorian era come together in this monolithic onyx ring, which dates between 1869-1880. The use of black materials in jewelry traces its roots to the dark adornments popularized by Queen Victoria upon Prince Albert\\\\\\\'s death, while papyrus carvings along the sides of the stone highlight the Victorians\\\\\\\' interest in Egyptian Revival motifs following the completion of the Suez Canal in 1869. A vintage piece from esteemed estate jewelers Doyle & Doyle.
