In Sense and Sensibility, Edward Ferrars wears a ring set with Lucy Steel’s hair. Learn more about sentimental jewelry with historian, collector, and Regency romance author, Candice Hern.
“The ordinary people of Jane Austen’s time often wore a sentimental type of jewelry, which was accessible and inexpensive. The sentiment of such jewelry fell into two categories: the sentiment of love and the sentiment of death. In this presentation, Candice will explore both types, including symbols and iconography of mourning and of romance, all of which would have been well understood by people of the time.”
