Victorian Aesthetic Pin Engraved Sterling with Gold Leaves

The oval brooch has a crenelated edge around a fine beaded border.

It measures over 1-3/8" x over 1". An early c-clasp secures the pin. It is unmarked but it has been tested and it is sterling silver. I can't test the gold without damaging the images but I trust that the parts are at least 10k.

It is light weight at 4.8 grams making it easy to wear even on the thinnest cotton lace blouse.

Condition: this was originally a locket and was altered early in its life as the pin mechanism is antique as is the c-clasp, the silver work is clean and tidy and hidden when the brooch is worn.

I have several of these Victorian aesthetic era brooches. See last photo - they look wonderful as a grouping.
