Victorian Mourning Jewelry Black Beaded Bracelet

I have a thing for real Victorian jewelry... I say "real," because a lot of buyers on eBay don't seem to know the difference between real Victorian jewelry and what is called "Victorian style."
Avon is not Victorian, and real Victorian pieces don't look perfectly manufactured. Take this lovely beaded mourning bracelet for instance. If you look closely you can see the variations in the glass beads. This lends to the character and the uniqueness of the piece and makes it even more special.

Did you ever stop to think about mourning jewelry? The Victorians didn't have a lot of pictures or mementos of loved ones like we do. A mourning piece was a treasured memento of a loved one gone, whether it was a hair locket, an engraved watch fob, or like this beaded mourning bracelet.

This special bracelet has been sold but find jewelry like it at our store on eBay.
