Featured Is This A Mourning Pendant?

Happy New Years to all!

Would this be considered as a piece of mourning jewelry? It looks to pretty/bright/happy! What else would it be? Is this Victorian? THANKS!

 

Beautiful!. I love it and would very happily add that to my hoard if I saw it.

 

I would say no, not a mourning pin, not with those happy colors.

Coming up with an age is tough since the pin hinge, stem and clasp are not original to the piece. The ring at the bottom of the pin was also added on to give it somewhere for the flower pendant to hang.

So it was assembled from parts and made into a pin. The dangle is a bit large compared to the pin section and it's a shame they didn't use a solder that matched the color of the metal parts. But all in all it's sweet and I love the colors

 

Sentimental rather than mourning. The violet means everlasting love. It's been put together but a fair time ago. The miniature is Georgian.

 

It's sweet, looks like the portrait is mounted on a piece of carved mother of pearl.

I agree, not recently done

 

Awesome. This is why of all the forums I frequent, this is my favorite. Okay, in truth this is the ONLY forum I visit but ya'll are fantastic anyway!

 

I'd surmise the miniature was painted on ivory, then mounted on MOP.

 

U should frequent more often...!
Oh...
& HAPPY NEW YEAR !!!!
