Mourning or memorial jewellery has been worn for centuries, especially during the Victorian era where funerals and the events attched to buying immortalization, and remembering the dead was of much importance. With her creations Gisèle Ganne refers to common symbols used in mourning jewellry such as forget-me-nots, flowers, hearts, crosses, ivy leaves and more macabre symbols like skulls, coffins and gravestones. She designs rings and knuckle-dusters, all which are made of gold-plated silver and include precious gems. There is a distinct Victorian-era feeling to the jewelry, but with a modern touch for the updated memorial jewelry trend.
