Antique Georgian/Victorian 14k Gold and Seed Pearl Braided Hair Mourning Brooch

About the Item

A fine antique mourning brooch. In 14k (or 15k) yellow gold. Set with 2 concentric rows of seed pearls - each with dentil decorated bezels and braided locks of hair set under faceted glass. In the Georgian and Victorian eras, woven hair art was used to memorialize a departed loved one or given as a keepsake memorial for a loved one in their absence. Engraved with the name "A. Copcutt". Remarkably, it appears to retain to the reverse the original hinge, pin stem, and the clasp. Simply a wonderful large size mourning brooch!

There is some light edge wear, some fine and light surface scratches, and other signs of light wear consistent with age. Fineness: Unmarked for gold fineness. Professionally tests at 14k.
