The Victorian Era and Mourning Jewelry
After the death of Prince Albert in 1861, Queen Victoria adopted a strict mourning period that would have a lasting influence on social customs and fashion. Mourning jewelry became not only symbolic but also accessories of social visibility: the color black, romantic motifs, and dark materials. Mourning jewelry adhered to strict rules: during the first year of mourning, the widow dressed entirely in black and avoided bright jewelry; Later, she may wear black pieces (glass, jet, onyx) that symbolize remembrance.
The cameo depicting a woman's profile is a popular motif. It evokes memory, contemplation, and the representation of a loved one or a deceased person.
