Product Details

Striking Victorian mourning brooch dating to approximately 1870-1890. This elegant fern or wheat motif is composed of individually mounted faceted black navettes, likely French jet (black glass), creating wonderful dimension and sparkle in the light. Features an early tube hinge and C-catch consistent with the Victorian period. One navette is missing and there is expected age-related wear visible under magnification, but the brooch retains strong visual impact and displays beautifully from the front. A wonderful example of Victorian mourning jewelry and a classic addition to any antique jewelry collection.
