The Resurgence of Mourning Jewellery: From the Stuarts to Today

Signs of the modern resurgence of mourning jewellery are hard to ignore, from the prevalence of contemporary memorial pieces amongst families to the increase in demand for antique pieces at auction.

Why We Still Collect Mourning Jewellery

As we approach the 200th anniversary of Lyon & Turnbull on 18 October 2026, the Georgian society within which the auction house was first founded seems a world away from the 21st Century.

Lyon &amp; Turnbull is excited to announce our first Jewellery auction of 2026, taking place live online and in person from our beautiful Edinburgh saleroom, it includes a selection of carefully selected antique, vintage and modern jewels.&nbsp;Highlights include an interesting selection of Georgian mourning and paste jewellery and a small, but none the less interesting, collection of Scottish freshwater pearl jewellery. We are also delighted to include a selection of jewels by the London based designer Leo de Vroomen, a master of enamel jewels his bold designs are instantly recognisable and rare to the auction market.The auction also includes a select jewel jewels by Hermes, from their Chain d'ancre&nbsp;range, as well as classic pieces by Cartier, Bulgari and Chopard.
