all your dreams turn bittersweet

Antique Victorian Vulcanite Eagle Mourning Brooch Pin

Symbolism:

Garland - representing the triumph of the soul over death and the realization of eternal life.

Grapevines for mourning are deeply rooted in history and symbolism, with vines and leaves frequently found in historical cemetery monuments and Victorian-era mourning jewelry. They symbolize rebirth, the triumph over death, and the joys of the afterlife, as well as the blood of Christ in Christian tradition.

Eagle – Representing courage and possibly a military career.

Rose – Representing love, beauty, hope and goodness and associated with the Virgin Mary and the ‘rose without thorns.’ A red rose stands for martyrdom and a white rose means purity.

Forget-me-nots - Representing enduring remembrance, true love, and faithfulness. It served as a comforting promise that the emotional bond with the deceased remained unbroken, transcending death and keeping the memory of the loved one alive.
