THIS MOURNING RING is set with French jet—a glossy black glass often used in place of real jet, but just as effective at catching the light and setting a somber tone. The inscription reads: Sarah Godler Ob[t] Aug[t] 8 1823 AET 60—which means she died on August 8, 1823, at age 60. It was worn by someone close to Sarah who wanted her memory to live on.
