I tend to believe it resembles the mourning jewelry theme like talesof spoke of.

Here is an example with a plant/flower....they didn't all have to be extremely "dark"

Jimmy to get an accurate value I think we all feel you should locate a local expert who deals in antique jewelry, because it may have the potential to be quite valuable, because of the collectabilty and high demand for mourning jewelry as well as the fact that yours may be very unique and potentially rare. None of us would want to steer you wrong, since we don't have the advantage of seeing your ring in person. What I think we would like to see is for you to take it to an expert who can assess it in person, and then let us know how it went so that we can learn from it.
