BATH ABBEY CEMETARY - LACHRYMATORY PENDANT
We created these beautiful pendants with the ancient folklore story of lachrymatory tear catchers in our mind and their use during the mourning period. After losing a loved one it was thought that lachrymatory vilesβ were used to catch the falling tears of those grieving, measuring their mourning process. When the tears evaporated, they were free of their grief. This mourning tradition dates back as far as the Roman era but reappeared during the reign of Queen Victoria, when mourning became a beautifully delicate focus with the use of darkened lace gowns, Memento Mori jewellery and lachrymatory traditions.
These beautiful resin pendants are handcrafted by us at The Haunts Curiosity Shoppe individually, using preserved moss from hallowed ground near and far. Each pendant is set upon a 26inch sterling silver chain which has been darkened using oxidation.
EACH PENDANT IS HANDCRAFTED, SO WILL BE UNIQUE TO YOU.

The Old Hallowed Ground, where the world stands still, least craving renewal. The moss lined cobbles weave and twirl through the arched stones, as angels line the paths, watching over your journey into a world turning back the hands of time.
