there seems to be a current fascination with the vaguely macabre in the jewellery world, focusing on mourning jewellery and momento mori eg. the pamela love craze. i love this as i love the fact that fashion is definitely moving in the way of contrasts often styling these pieces with feminine dreamy lace or minimalist blacks and structured pieces to avoid the overly goth look. gisèle ganne is a french jewellery designer with exquisite pieces of mourning, black widow and divorce jewellery. mourning jewellery has been worn for decades particularly in the victorian era to immortalize and remember the dead, also of a way to remind people of their inevitable mortality. though i can never get past purely pretty pieces of jewellery i love that fashion at the moment is focusing on jewellery with an interesting story and history.
