Georgian Memorial Onyx Hair Brooch
About the Item
This exquisite and remarkable brooch is a charming and elegant example of Georgian jewelry dating back to approximately 1830. The brooch measures 1.50 inches in diameter and is crafted from 18k yellow gold, visible on the back of the brooch, where the C-clasp and tube hinge are located. The combination of shiny black onyx and delicate hair creates a unique and striking appearance, with twelve round onyx stones artfully arranged around a central glazed hair compartment. The oval-shaped compartment, which measures approximately 0.50 inches by 0.75 inches, contains a lock of hair, most likely from a beloved family member or a dear friend. The onyx stones are expertly faceted, adding a touch of texture, depth, and luxury to the piece. The stones measure approximately 0.20 inches in diameter and are set in delicate prongs that add to the intricate design. The reverse side of the brooch is just as impressive, featuring a secure and reliable C-clasp and tube hinge. This vintage brooch is in excellent condition, with no visible signs of wear or damage, and its beauty would make a perfect addition to any jewelry collection, as it is a timeless and classic piece that exudes sophistication and refinement.
