Introducing the Velvet Apparition Casket Plaque Ring Collection! Sad Hour Clock Casket Plaque Ring Antiqued 14k Gold.

These exquisite rings are crafted from high-quality 925 Sterling Silver with 14k Gold Plating ensuring lasting beauty and significance.

These designs are drawn from Victorian Mourning practices and rituals. During the Victorian era, mourning practices were elaborate and highly ritualized. Casket plaques became an integral part of these ceremonies, often adorned with intricate designs and engraved details. These plaques served as a means to memorialize the deceased, providing a tangible and lasting tribute during a period when mourning practices were highly formalized and expressive.

The Sad Hour Clock Casket Plaque is a highly rare piece, featuring a clock with hour and minute hands used to signify the time of death. This design is influenced by Victorian superstitions, where there was a tradition of halting clocks at the moment of death. Victorians believed that time froze at the instant of passing, signifying the commencement of a timeless existence. Failure to stop the clock was thought to trap the spirit of the departed, leading to haunting, and it was also believed that allowing time to progress could bring misfortune to those still in the household. This ring is set at 3am, “The Devil’s Hour” or “The Witching Hour”. “The Devil's Hour" or “The Witching Hour”, typically refers to the period between 3am and 4am. Some believe this time is associated with supernatural activity and is considered an ominous or paranormal time. Both have roots in folklore and superstition.

Comes in a luxury black velvet branded ring box.

*IMPORTANT NOTE*

Please be aware that gold-plated jewelry is crafted with a thin layer of 14k gold over a base of 925 Sterling Silver. Over time, this plating may naturally wear off due to various factors such as:

- Regular use and handling
- Natural oils from the skin
- Exposure to moisturizers, perfumes, and other personal care products

Due to these factors, the gold plating may lose its luster over time. While gold-plated jewelry offers an affordable and stylish option, it does not have the same durability as solid gold.
