About the Item
A fine antique Georgian gold, seed pearl, hair, and enamel mourning brooch.
With braided or plaited hair behind glass in a worked gold setting set with seed pearls and surrounded by a black enamel band.
The reverse bears a pin for attachment and likely had a jump ring removed.

The gold tests at 10k.
