Antique Victorian 14K Gold and Silver Mourning Remembrance Brooch
About the Item
This antique Victorian mourning brooch is a poignant and beautifully crafted piece of jewelry, rich with sentimental value and historical significance. Made from 14-karat gold with a silver back, the brooch reflects the artistry and deeply personal nature of mourning jewelry during the Victorian era.
The rim of the brooch features an elegantly scalloped border, adding a touch of softness to its design. Intricately engraved with a fantasy decor, the gold frame highlights the exceptional craftsmanship of the time. The centerpiece of the brooch is particularly unique, as it is made from intricately woven or arranged hair—a common and highly symbolic feature in mourning jewelry. The contrast between the gold front and silver back adds depth and dimension to the piece, showcasing the multi-material craftsmanship often seen in Victorian-era designs.
During the Victorian period, mourning jewelry held a special role as a way to honor and remember loved ones who had passed away. These pieces were often deeply personal, created to preserve the memory of the deceased and keep them close to the heart of the wearer. Hair was frequently incorporated into mourning jewelry, symbolizing a tangible and intimate connection to the lost individual.
Mourning jewelry became especially popular during the reign of Queen Victoria, who famously mourned the death of her husband, Prince Albert, by wearing black clothing and mourning jewelry for the rest of her life. This trend influenced an entire era, leading to the creation of beautiful yet somber pieces like this brooch.
Measuring 4,7 cm in length and width 3,6 cm, this brooch is not only a stunning example of Victorian craftsmanship but also a powerful reminder of the enduring bonds of love and memory. Its elegant design, with the juxtaposition of 14K gold and silver, along with its historical significance, make it a cherished collectible for antique jewelry enthusiasts or anyone drawn to the beauty of sentimental art.
This Antique Victorian 14K Gold and Silver Mourning Remembrance Brooch is more than just a piece of jewelry—it is a timeless symbol of devotion, love, and remembrance.
