Those of you who follow my auctions will be aware that I have an ongoing passion (obsession) with Victorian and Art Deco Mourning jewellery. I'm going to not bore you with lots of chatter but will share a couple of very good online videos with you. Both are short and explore the culture and materials of mourning your loved ones. Featured are Whitby Jet, Vulcanite, French Jet and hair jewellery. There is also a segment on the ritual of dressing for mourning. Enjoy..

Sorry I can't remember how to make these links active so until I do you'll have to do the old school copy/paste thing.
