Regular price
$633.60
Presented is a lovely Victorian 18 karat gold, pearl and onyx mourning pin or
brooch. This piece is American and dates to the mid 1800s. The brooch is oval
shaped, with a row of faceted black onyx stones around the outermost edge. The
next innermost row is of round pearls. The center is a clear beveled glass, with
woven hair set behind it. Attached to the brooch by means of a fine chain is an
elegant stickpin, topped with another round pearl. This is a fabulous quality
piece of mourning jewelry, and would be an exceptional addition to any
collection.
The brooch is in great condition. The pearls are all intact and are in superb
condition. One of the onyx stones around the edge is a replacement, it has a
pointed top rather than a flat facet, but this is not very noticeable.
The brooch is 18 karat gold, tested and guaranteed.
The brooch is about 1 1/2 inches long.
This piece weighs 14.9 grams.
