Antique Victorian 1870s Tortoiseshell Piqué Brooch
About the Item
Introducing our antique Victorian tortoiseshell piqué brooch, popular in the 1820s and 1870s. This exquisite heirloom piece is a testament to the fine craftsmanship of the Victorian era. The large round brooch is made with tortoiseshell piqué that looks stunning with its gold and silver inlay.
In the Victorian era Tortoiseshell was used in mourning jewellery. When somebody passed away as a sign of respect black clothing and jewellery were observed. The tortoiseshell is inlaid with silver and gold. The shell is heated and the design is pressed into the piece. Mourning jewellery became fashionable after Prince Albert passed away due to Queen Victoria taking on mourning for the rest of her life.
Its opulent design offers an elegant, majestic flair that simply captivates the eye. This antique item is a one-of-a-kind piece.
