Beautiful Large Black Victorian Hand and Basket Of Fruits Brooch

$125 USDBeautiful Large Black Victorian Hand and Basket Of Fruits Brooch

Jewelry:Antique:Victorian:Hand:Basket:Brooch:Dyed Horn:Bone
A gorgeous classic Victorian Brooch modeled as a Hand holding a Basket of Fruits. The Brooch is Black, but I do not believe that it is Jet, but rather dyed carved Horn or Bone. The Brooch measures 2 1/8 inches across and 1 1/4 inches down, and fastens with a hinged pin and 'c' clasp, which is attached to the brooch with screws. Finely detailed, the weave of the basket and even the finger nails are clear, the Brooch is in superb condition, although the surface on the back of the brooch is crazed ...

Jewelry:Antique:Victorian:Gold Filled:Amethyst:Brooch:C1850:Gold Safety Chain
Wow - this is a Jewel! A very large and ornate Victorian Brooch set with a faceted Amethyst Paste. The surface of the Brooch tests as Gold (minimum 14kt), but it does not have the weight of solid gold, and would be either gold filled or gold plated. The Brooch measures 2 3/4 inches across and 2 inches down and fastens with an extended tube hinged pin and 'C' clasp. The Safety Chain is marked on the pin '9' for 9kt Gold. The faceted Amethyst Paste measures 1 1/4 inches across and 1 inch down and ...
