Regular price
$712.80
Presented is a Victorian, 14 karat gold, amethyst and pearl brooch or pin made during the mid to late 1800s. This piece is probably American and was made between the 1830s and the 1860s. This Etruscan Revival piece is classically enameled with design and engraved with texture. The center is set with a faceted amethyst and a natural seed pearl. The pin has its original C style clasp and there is a loop for hanging a charm or fob from the bottom.
This piece has been tested with nitric acid and is guaranteed to be 14 karat gold purity.
This piece is in excellent overall condition for its age. There is some incredibly minor loss of enamel to a couple of the designs but it is very insignificant. There are no other flaws and no repairs.
The pin measures 1 1/4 inches wide and weighs 7 grams.
