Dimensions

Width: 6 Centimetres

Inspired by Victorian mourning jewelry, this handmade resin brooch recreates the elegance of antique Whitby Jet while remaining a modern reproduction.

The design features a delicate black hand gently holding small flowers, a motif deeply rooted in 19th-century sentimental jewelry.

Crafted in resin, the piece echoes the sculptural beauty of early plastics while remaining lightweight and comfortable for modern wear.

During the late Victorian period, hand motifs were widely used to symbolize affection, loyalty, and enduring connection. A hand holding flowers traditionally represented friendship and love, while the forget-me-not became a powerful emblem of remembrance.

One of the most distinctive elements of this brooch is the sculpted cuff. Inspired by antique designs, its refined detailing reflects the individuality often found in historical jewelry, where even subtle embellishments carried meaning.

Not an antique, but a faithful modern reproduction designed for collectors and lovers of historically inspired adornment.
Matching pieces are available in my shop. Designed to be worn together for a complete look.

Dimensions:
• Brooch size: approx. 6 cm × 3.5 cm
