Victorian Mourning Jewelry
Onyx jewelry was widely worn during the Grand Victorian Era (ca. 1861–1880), particularly as part of mourning attire. After the passing of Prince Albert, Queen Victoria set the precedent for mourning customs, leading to the popularity of black clothing and jewelry in the months following the loss of a loved one. This tradition extended to several countries, including the Netherlands, where mourning jewelry became a significant part of cultural heritage.
