Closed, opens tomorrow 11amIndependent shop in DowntownDirections

Available from Isadora's Antique Jewlery when we last checked. Sold from the shop’s own store; the price there is the one that counts.

Each of these Victorian mourning earrings features a teardrop-shaped piece of gutta-percha carved with the face of a plump cherub. Memorial jewelry was popular in the late Victorian Era as Queen Victoria mourned the death of Prince Albert, and her populace followed suit.
