What is In Memorium Jewelry?
Mourning jewelry, often referred to as “In Memorium” jewelry, became popular in the 18th and 19th centuries as a way to remember loved ones who had passed away. These sentimental pieces were often personalized with names, dates, or symbols of life and death, such as oak leaves and acorns. Many of these pieces would have glass-backed compartments to hold keepsakes like hair, fabric, or portraits, allowing the wearer to keep the memory of their loved one close at all times.
