I recently added this piece to my mourning collection. The white enamel border likely indicates that the deceased was a child or an unmarried woman. The royal blue enamel background seem almost back-lit, doesn't it? And I love how the knotted and gathered lock of hair perfectly fills the compartment. *Deep, catching breath* - this is a special one.

That is a special one! How beautiful. I love that we can tell so much about the deceased from the symbolism in mourning jewellery.
This is gorgeous :)
Goodness, so special :)
