The use of baby teeth (or "milk teeth") in jewelry was briefly popular in the very late 19th and very early 20th centuries. The people of this time were a sentimental and not-too-squeamish bunch and, as such, they commissioned jewelry made from these tiny treasures to celebrate a landmark moment - the loss of one's baby teeth aka the survival of early childhood. This strikingly modern-looking ring features a pair of bezel-set milk teeth which have been filed into soft triangle shapes. French hallmark.
