Antique Jewelry | Victorian Mourning/Memorial Brooch with Engraved Shield Photo Locket B723

This piece originates from the Victorian era, designed as mourning or memorial jewelry. Beyond its somber significance, it can also serve as a cherished keepsake for friends or loved ones, as the locket on the back is designed to hold photographs, hair, or other mementos. The intricate floral engraving on the front is exceptionally beautiful and quite rare. Beneath the engraving, the base color resembles leather, but it is actually a very fine, detailed carved texture. The pin mechanism on the back has a distinctly antique design; this brooch is full of subtle details waiting to be discovered. The metal, with its K-gold-like hue on the front engraving and the metal bezel setting on the sides, appears to be gold-plated. However, as it has not been tested, we leave it to the buyer to conduct further verification. Dimensions: 4.6 x 3.5 cm. * Care Instructions - Wipe clean with a dry cloth. - Do not use a silver polishing cloth.
