<p>[QUOTE="Ownedbybear, post: 3660884, member: 29"]Very nice. I'd call those sentimental, rather than mourning, as they've coloured stones and diamonds. Mourning brooches usually had black or dark enamel and often pearls, to symbolise tears. Yours look more like the kind that held a lock of a loved one's hair, sometimes a baby.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
