Magpie Jewellery

A delicate Victorian mourning brooch, featuring 31 seed pearls arranged alongside human hair, bringing together two deeply meaningful elements of Victorian sentimental jewellery. In mourning jewellery, pearls were traditionally associated with tears, making them a poignant symbol of grief and remembrance. The combination of tiny pearls and preserved hair gives this petite gold piece a personal story rooted in the customs of the era.

Mourning jewellery was worn during the Victorian period to honour and remember loved ones who had passed away. Incorporating personal elements such as human hair, along with symbolic details like pearls, these pieces served as lasting keepsakes of affection and remembrance.
