FAQs

Victorian mourning jewellery includes decorative pieces worn during periods of bereavement, popularised following the death of Prince Albert in 1861. These pieces frequently incorporated dark materials such as onyx, jet, or black enamel, often paired with seed pearls to symbolise tears.

Traditional materials included black gemstones like onyx and jet, paired with yellow gold, seed pearls, and dark enamel. High-carat golds, including 15ct goldwhich was a standard British purity mark between 1854 and 1932were frequently utilised.

Authentic pieces usually feature hand-set seed pearls, c-clasp pin mechanisms, long brooch pins extending past the frame, and specific British hallmarks such as 15ct or 625 stamps. Design elements like starburst settings, navette shapes, and black onyx panels are characteristic of the mid-to-late Victorian era.

Antique brooches can be styled on lapels of tailored jackets, secured at the collar of a button-down shirt, attached to silk scarves, or pinned onto wool coats to add a historic accent to modern wardrobes.

Avoid exposing seed pearls and soft stones like onyx to water, ultrasonic cleaners, or harsh chemicals, as these can erode adhesives and damage organic materials. Clean gently using a soft, dry lint-free cloth and store separately from other jewellery to prevent scratching.
