Victorian Mourning Brooch, Black with Pearl. Although this is a mourning brooch, it could be worn every day - it is a plain black enamel oval set centrally with an incised star design housing a single small natural pearl. The backing is gold - no hallmarks - and it has the characteristic Victorian long pin. Brooch measures 3 cm by 2.5 cm (1.3/16 inch by 1 inch). Very good condition . Close-up, under strong light, there are a few age scratches on the enamel, but these are not readily visible to the naked eye. A very pretty and useful brooch, over 100 years old.

Mourning Brooch, Pearls with Hair Panel. Very pretty little 19th century gold mourning brooch - genuine natural pearls surround a glass-fronted locket panel, in which there is a lock of blond hair. Brooch measures 23 mm by 29 mm (just under 1 inch by 1.1/8 inches). The brooch has a few faults - the panel at the rear is missing its cover - this was probably also glass, but could have been gold. There is a rear safety chain, which is missing it’s end pin. This can easily be replaced by a whole new safety chain if desired - it is not original to the brooch. A few machine-made marks on the rear metal. So - a restoration project for someone to fit a rear panel. Such a pretty brooch deserves the repair.
Circa: Late 19th Century
