About this event

Fond Remembrance: A Talk on Mourning Jewelry

Come join me for a fascinating talk and slide show on the history and significance of mourning jewelry at Boston's historic Loring-Greenough House. I will take you through the evolution of this unique form of remembrance, from the mid-17th century to the early 20th century. You will learn about the different styles, materials, and symbolism behind these intricate pieces and gain a deeper understanding of its cultural importance and why it fell out of fashion. There will be time for a Q&A after the lecture.

A reception with light refreshments will follow the talk, as well as a curated sale of antique mourning and sentimental jewelry, antique portrait miniatures, and antique photographs.

Space is limited, so reserve your seats now.

I look forward to meeting you there!
