Victorians were enthusiastic about mourning jewelry. Queen Victoria remained passionately in love with Prince Albert long after his death, laying out his clothes daily for decades after he died, and dressing herself in black, and wearing mourning jewelry. Victorians followed her example, and. are famous for their \"momento mori\" jewelry: memories of the departed, usually a piece of hair (often braided or woven into an elaborate pattern) or a photo were placed into a special compartment on a piece of jewelry.This piece is a beautiful example of the Victorian aesthetic.
