Antique Mourning Jewellery

Mourning jewellery celebrates the life of loved ones who are no more. It usually consists of jewellery made from gold and black enamel, decorated with memento mori motifs such as skulls and coffins. Georgian and Victorian mourning jewellery was a way for the bereaved to outwardly express their grief and devotion to the deceased. Antique mourning jewellery also functioned as a constant reminder of the departed and a symbol of the enduring bond between them and the living.
