[@notfeedynotlazy]

Brass-coated jewelry would also be period-appropiate for a Spaniard character in the 1890s. Same as lead, but prettier. (Copper-coated jewelry had not yet been developed.)

[@KowboyUSA]

The Duke, or not, that's a doozy of a quote.

[@notfeedynotlazy]

@@OverOnTheWildSide Period ones were not mushroom shaped, but _DID_ in fact have the reputation of being poisonous. (no, seriously - in the late 1890s, there existed the actual belief among US army guys that the aforementioned Spain-made brass-plated-lead _jewelry_ was such plated, not for a faster, smoother delivery of their beauty, but to "poison their recipients" with verdigris. Spain's answer to that was along the lines of "rest asured, once we have decorated your forehead, you won't have to worry about verdigris no more". Ah, the XIX century.)

Thanks for that Santee. I think the wearing of jewelery by working people for 'Sunday Best' was pretty common in other countries as well. Interestingly Roman women had two wedding rings. One was made of iron and one of gold. The iron ring was worn at home while the gold ring would be worn in public to impress people. Iron was also meant to symbolise strength and permanence. And the choice of the ring finger on the left hand was because it was thought that there was a vain ran from that finger directly to the heart. So a wedding ring on that finger symbolised love between the couple.
