i luv mormon vampires

The gold ring Kristen Stewart wears and Robsten fans believe is a promise ring, engagement ring or love token bearing the name “Rob” either on the outside or inside of the band is not a “love token” but a token of death and remembrance. It is an antique mourning ring with a skull engraved on it. Mourning rings aren’t given out as love tokens or engagement rings or commitment rings, but are worn in memory of someone who has died. Traditionally, a certain amount of the estate would be set aside in one’s will to supply everyone at the funeral with a ring to commemorate the death. Often the inside of the band is engraved with the name and date of death of the person being remembered. There was a photo showing that Kristen’s ring is engraved with something on the inside. It’s not Rob’s name, however, as he is very much alive.
