Victorian mourning jewellery encompasses pieces worn to commemorate deceased loved ones, particularly popularised after Queen Victoria entered prolonged mourning following the death of Prince Albert in 1861.

Authentic nineteenth-century black jewellery was frequently crafted from Whitby jet, a fossilised wood mineral, alongside bog oak, French jet (black glass), vulcanite, and gutta-percha.

Genuine Whitby jet is lightweight, feels warm to the touch rather than cold like glass, produces a brown streak when rubbed against an unglazed porcelain tile, and emits a coal-like odour when lightly heated with a hot needle.

Antique earrings add historical character to modern outfits when paired with minimal clothing, allowing the intricate carvings and subtle lustre of the period pieces to serve as a focal point.

Jet is a relatively soft material that scratches easily and can be damaged by alcohol, solvents, or ultrasonic cleaners; it should be cleaned gently with a soft, damp cloth and stored separately in a padded box.
