EDITORS COMMENTS
This advertisement from 1892 showcases a selection of exquisite mourning jewellery created by Godwin & Sons, esteemed jewellers located in Holborn, London. The image highlights an array of elegant and poignant pieces designed in honor of the late Prince Albert Victor, Duke of Clarence and Avondale. The Duke, who tragically passed away in January of that year, left behind a grieving nation and a profound impact on the British monarchy. In response to the public's desire to pay their respects, Godwin & Sons crafted a beautiful collection of mourning jewellery, which included delicate brooches, bracelets, and earrings. These timeless pieces were meticulously designed using the finest materials, such as black jet, pearls, onyx, and diamonds. The use of these materials was not only symbolic of the mourning process but also reflected the Victorian era's fascination with the natural world and its connection to the afterlife. The brooches, with their intricate designs and pearl accents, were perfect for pinning to a mourning dress or shawl, while the bracelets and earrings added a subtle yet significant touch of elegance and sophistication. Godwin & Sons' commitment to craftsmanship and attention to detail ensured that these pieces were not only beautiful but also a testament to the enduring legacy of the Duke and the mourning process during this historical period. This advertisement offers a glimpse into the past, providing a fascinating insight into the world of Victorian mourning jewellery and the role that Godwin & Sons played in creating these poignant and cherished keepsakes.
