| dc.description.abstract | The main objective of this research paper is to trace and enhance the development of British mourning jewelry and rituals through the magnificent historical, cultural, artistic and technological changes of the long nineteenth century. Methodologically, via extensive bib-liographical references, the author examines profoundly the roles of the nineteenth century royal courts and personalities, specifically those of the late Georgian and mid Victorian period and first focuses on the French influ-enced British mourning jewelry. Through an analysis of selected mourning jewelry types he tries to reveal the aesthetic and symbol-ic characteristics on which the later British burial tradition was based on. Subsequently, he focalizes on Queen Victoria’s personality in severely reshaping the ideal of traditional burial practices and thus reestablishing the idea of modern British mourning customs, among which mourning jewelry was of pre-dominant importance, reaching their peak in the 1880s. | pt_PT |
| dc.description.abstract | O principal objectivo deste trabalho de in-vestigação é traçar e melhorar o desenvol-vimento das jóias e rituais de luto britânicos através das magníficas mudanças históricas, culturais, artísticas e tecnológicas do longo século XIX. Metodologicamente, através de extensas referências bibliográficas, o au-tor examina profundamente os papéis dos tribunais e personalidades reais do século XIX, especificamente os do final do era geor-giana e meados do período vitoriano e foca primeiro as jóias de luto britânicas de in-fluência francesa. Através de uma análise de jóias de luto seleccionadas, tenta revelar as características estéticas e simbólicas em que se baseou a posterior tradição funerária britânica. Posteriormente, concentra-se na personalidade da Rainha Vitória, reformu-lando severamente o ideal das práticas de luto tradicionais e restabelecendo assim a ideia dos costumes de luto britânicos mo-dernos, entre os quais a jóia de luto era de importância predominante, atingindo o seu auge na década de 1880. | pt_PT |
