Victorian Mourning Jewellery with Square Links

This piece of Victorian mourning jewellery, made up of square links and crafted in early plastic, would originally have held a vulcanite locket. Deep in colour and finished with a smooth, polished surface, it retains the sombre elegance typical of mourning pieces of the time.

Mourning jewellery was worn throughout the Victorian era as a visible expression of grief and remembrance for a lost loved one, with early plastic offering a new and inventive alternative to jet and other traditional mourning materials.
