FAQs

Popularised during the reign of Queen Victoria following the death of Prince Albert, mourning jewellery served as a visual symbol of grief and remembrance. Brooches from this era frequently incorporated symbolic stones such as black onyx representing sorrow and seed pearls representing tears.

Victorian mourning pieces were typically crafted using high-carat yellow gold, silver, or pinchbeck, combined with dark materials like onyx, jet, vulcanite, or enamel. Seed pearls, micro-pearls, and engraved hair compartments were also standard components.

Authentic Victorian brooches often feature period-specific British hallmarks, such as 15ct gold stamps used between 1854 and 1932. They also display characteristic long pin stems that protrude past the rim of the brooch and classic C-clasps.

Antique mourning brooches can be styled as accent pieces on modern blazer lapels, high collars, or silk scarves to add historic detail to contemporary attire. They can also be displayed on velvet-lined jewellery trays as collector pieces.

Seed pearls are organic and sensitive to moisture, perfume, and chemicals, so they must never be submerged in liquid or cleaned with harsh agents. Wipe the gold and onyx components gently with a dry, soft lint-free cloth and store the piece in a dry setting.
