Sentimental Jewelry

Sentimental jewelry refers to special pieces worn in the 19th century, often in tribute to a loved one or a deceased person. These symbolic pieces of jewelry often feature inscriptions, symbols or personal elements, such as hair or teeth, evoking the person to whom they are dedicated. In the context of "Memento Mori" or mourning jewelry, we find motifs such as the weeping willow, hair or urns.

For love jewelry, hidden messages, flaming hearts, locks of hair, and names are common. Words such as "friendship" or pansy flowers often appear, as do puns with the colors of the stones. These sentimental jewelry pieces often incorporate these elements, making them rare and sought-after pieces, true collector's items. Discover Maison Mohs' selection.
