Antique Whitby Jet Acorn Silver Charm Victorian Mourning. Regrettably I cannot combine shipping for international buyers as I sell through eBay shipping.
A beautiful and antique rare mourning charm. In excellent condition. A bit of background on acorn symbolism:
Found as a charm on fob chains and bracelets, the acorn is often seen an ancillary motif in jewellery, balancing other symbols or complimenting a mourning sentiment, but more rarely being the prominent, singular motif use...d for a piece.
Often seen on military tombs, the acorn can stand for power, authority or victory, however it is also a statement of longevity, strong new growth and new life.
Pieces occasionally found from the late 17th and early 18th century, then typically from the mid to late Victorian era when the symbol is found prominently.
