This is what I thought. I think the Daily Mail might have got it wrong though, apparently Blackamoor jewelry does have racist connotations (because they're linked to slavery) but I don't think it has anything to do with 'blackface'. I'd never heard of it either though so I could be wrong, that's just what I found from googling it just now.
