The use of baby teeth (or "milk teeth") in jewelry has nothing to do with mourning. Quite the opposite - during the last centuries, it was worth celebrating if your child survived long enough to lose his or her first teeth. Thus, the Edwardians (a sentimental and not-too-squeamish bunch) commissioned jewelry made from these tiny treasures. This ring features a two milk teeth with black enamel loops intertwined with a trio of seed pearls set across the face. Dutch hallmarks.
