Rare Victorian Hair inside Gold Flower Rose Mourning Pin

Rare Victorian Hair inside Gold Flower Rose Mourning Pin

This is a very lovely Victorian hair mourning pin or remembrance brooch. It is a beautiful gold, three dimensional rose or flower pin, with brown-red human hair, plaited and woven inside the flower. Radiating gold bars emanating from the blossom's center hold the hair in place, allowing it to be viewed. The lifelike etched detail of the cut stem and leaf below the bloom are fabulous.

This is an unusual form for Victorian hair jewelry. We estimate it to be from 1850-1860. The gold is not marked and we have not tested it, it may be rolled gold.

It has a Victorian tube hinge pin stem and non locking c clasp. The brooch is in excellent condition. It is 1-1/16th inches long. A wonderful addition to your collection!
