| Enamel was used to accentuate the engraved designs and enhance the beauty of love tokens. Queen Victoria's mother and husband both died in 1861. Mourning jewelry dominated until the Queen relaxed the mourning rules in 1887. Black enamel symbolized death or mourning. Enameled love tokens were often presented at funerals with the deceased initials on them. |
