“Forget-me-not” or mourning lockets were customary pieces for those who had lost a loved one, and rose in popularity during the Victorian era. These pieces would have been part of the expected grieving process, and great care would have been taken to choose and customize the piece as it was considered an heirloom piece for the family.
Sourced from an estate in Aix-en-Provence.
