A collection of Mourning jewellery that is all steeped in history, from the 18thC through to the Victorian Period.
Mourning jewellery has been worn from the middle ages up until the Victorian era.
Mourning jewellery consisted of formulaic rings mode of gold and black enamel and decorated with standard memento mori such as skulls and coffins.
The real explosion of the mourning jewellery industry came in the 19thC, with the accession to the throne of Queen Victoria, her strict rules governing dress and social behaviour in times of mourning were followed by the court and consequently the general public, these rules became even more extreme and all-encompassing with the death of Victoria’s husband Prince Albert in 1861, this obsession of mourning was accompanied by a taste for sweetness and sentimentality, with the result that by the mid 19thC motifs of mourning jewellery became much less macabre and more Romantic.
