Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
British Victorians had all kinds of black jewelry that were created just for mourning, to go along with their black clothes. A lot of the pieces were made of jet. Some of them were cameos with the dead person's face carved into it in relief. Sometimes people wore lockets that had the image of the dead person's profile on them, a dedication to that person inscribed in it with their birth and death dates and a lock of their hair in the locket. |
