Мемориальные и "Memento Mori" украшения. 1600-1900-е.
Мемориальные и "Memento Mori" (помни о смерти) украшения были очень распространены и до сих пор в большом количестве присутствуют на антикварных сайтах.
Украшения "Memento Mori", кроме обычной символики- череп, кости, песочные часы, змея и т.д. часто включали локон или плетенку из волос. А на мемориальных украшениях изображали целые сюжеты, чаще сепией; иногда их выполняли из волос покойника, также присутствовали погребальные урны и вазоны, нарисованные или из драгоценных камней. Здесь показаны броши, браслеты, кольца, подвески и даже заколки для волос с такими сюжетами, скорбь выставляли напоказ- для дома делались мемориальные вышивки с аналогичными картинами- скорбящая вдова или мать у памятника, их тоже очень много встречается, и все это размещалось на видных местах.

An historically important late 17th century piece of jewelry, a bracelet of Stuart crystal slides recording a family history of betrothals and deaths. The seven gold slides, by the same hand, are gold, decorated with various ciphers and devices under rock crystal, threaded onto black ribbon and set to a gold clasp with skull device. It is rare for a bracelet of this type to have survived intact - most slide bracelets have been separated over the course of centuries.
