Show & Tell - Victorian Mourning Jewellery

Описание: I decided to do a video show & tell of my collected Victorian mourning jewellery items, including a couple that didn't make it into previous videos and a new Mauchline Ware acquisition, after someone online had made a post encouraging folk to talk about what they collected besides Little Apple Dolls. Most people answered with other types of doll, but I could only think of the Victorian mourning jewellery.

I had begun taking photos of them to back up my answer with & especially when someone else commented to say they had been gifted a mourning brooch. It was difficult to get pictures of all the wee intricate parts of each piece, so I videoed my response. I was going to make that video public but I realised, after the fact, that I had missed the addition of a couple of items.

I apologise for how tired I look, &c. I had been contending with a lot of background noise & when the video overran it led to tech difficulties (as always) and the destruction of the condenser mic mp3 audio file for the video. Audio is, therefore just my phone, which was recording the close-up details of each item.

The mourning jewellery pieces are showcased at the end of Scottish Death Traditions & Customs Pt. 2 video, which can be viewed here:    • Scottish Death Traditions & Customs Pt. 2
