Mourning Jewellery

In the late 18th century, Romanticism was widespread and most of the designs of that period was heavily influenced by it. In this period, there was a certain jewellery which was unique to it - the mourning jewellery. Women would wear these jewellery after the deaths of their loved one(s), allowing them to don jewellery while still in mourning. These jewellery were mostly dark in colour, to symbolise that the woman was still in mourning.
