A stunning Victorian mourning brooch, comprised of a heavy 18ct yellow gold body, with a black enamel border, bearing text that reads "In Memory Of". The central glass compartment houses some hair, presumably taken from a deceased loved one, and is surrounded by a row of pearls.
A wonderful antique piece in fine condition that would likely have been worn by somebody of high status.
Circa 1880.
Stamped "18ct" to the reverse.
The brooch measures approximately 33mm in diameter.
The approximate weight is 12.8 grams.
CONDITION: Overall very good, with some light wear commensurate with age. The pin and catch function as they should.
