SENTIMENTAL JEWELLERY

SENTIMENTAL JEWELLERY This was worn by men and women around 1800 representing love of the living or the dead. Locks of hair were often used either set into rings or lockets or woven into braid for necklaces, bracelets and watch chains. Miniature portraits or silhouettes worn on or inside pieces of jewellery were popular, as was the eye miniature and the heart or padlock and key.

The symbol of Eternity was the snake with its tail in its mouth. LOVE: Lapis, Opal, Vermeil(Garnet), and Emerald , the first letter of each stone spells the word love.
