Productdetails

Authentic late-19th-century ethnic tribal revival dangle brooch. This highly collectible piece features a distinctive crescent/omega-shaped frame heavily inspired by traditional penannular designs, beautifully accented with rich blue stones and mixed organic materials. This piece is unhallmarked, which is standard for authentic 19th-century regional and tribal artisan jewelry. The metal features a beautiful, genuine antique patina and is consistent with low-grade silver, Alpaca/German silver, or silver-plated brass common to the era. It has an Authentic original, simple open-C catch mechanism before safety rollers were invented. The sharp pin stem is deliberately elongated, extending past the edge of the design frame—a feature unique to 19th-century construction designed to pierce thick Victorian shawls and winter cloaks.
