Mourning jewellery was a popular form of jewellery created to commemorate the death of a loved one
The practice of wearing mourning jewellery dates back centuries but became increasingly popular during the eighteenth century, reaching its height in an early 19th century England under the reign of Queen Victoria
This stunning Victorian piece is a wonderful example. A 9 carat gold Gothic Script or Blackletter ‘L’, set with seed pearls and framed by a boarder of white enamel, is set on a black Grosgrain ribbon
The length of the ribbon can be adjusted and the bracelet fastened by a 9ct gold clasp
A beautifully finished thing and a true piece of history
