She informed the expert that her relative had passed away a few years earlier at the age of 102. Expert Hugh then opened a box revealing an array of unique pieces in a pull-out drawer he dubbed a "cabinet of curiosities."One necklace particularly caught his eye - a Georgian gold belcher link chain with a hand clasp, which he described as a "beautiful" piece. However, it was a collection of mourning rings in the box that piqued Hugh's interest, reports the Express.
He added that the colour of mourning jewellery was always black and that the back of the ring would typically feature a small engraving of the deceased's name and date of death. Additionally, there might be a tiny locket compartment containing a small lock of hair.
