This Victorian mourning piece consists of a carved oval jet locket attached to a linked Albert chain section featuring two small carved charms, specifically a book and a blackamoor's head. The entire item is rendered in a deep black colour with a smooth, polished finish, showcasing detailed relief carving across the locket surface and the charms, alongside interlocking links forming the chain. The photograph reveals a metal suspension loop at the top of the oval locket, intricate monogram detailing, and the sculptural depth of the bust and rectangular plaque charms. The locket measures 5 cm by 4 cm, making it a compact personal adornment. In a modern home, this item serves as a collectible historical curiosity for display in a cabinet or as part of a curated antique textile or jewellery study collection.

FAQs

Clean jet jewellery gently using a soft, lint-free cloth dampened with mild soapy water, avoiding harsh chemicals, ultrasonic cleaners, or prolonged exposure to direct sunlight.

Antique mourning jewellery can be displayed under a glass cloche, mounted inside a shadow box frame, or draped over a velvet jewellery bust on a dressing table.

Authentic Whitby jet feels lightweight, warm to the touch, produces a brown streak when drawn across unglazed porcelain, and emits a coal-like odour when heated gently.

Common materials included Whitby jet, vulcanite, gutta-percha, French jet (black glass), onyx, and woven human hair, often carved or set into metal fittings.

Victorian mourning jewellery includes dark-coloured pieces worn during periods of bereavement, popularised by Queen Victoria following the death of Prince Albert in 1861.
