Introducing a stunning Antique Victorian Mourning Brooch, a rare 1870s relic that combines the elegance of the Victorian era with the somber symbolism of Momento Mori. This 2.25-inch brooch is made from 12k gold filled and is in great condition, making it a truly special find for any collector of vintage jewelry. The centerpiece features a black dove, a symbol of peace, and the black color as a representation of death, suggesting "Rest In Peace." The cap of the brooch has a faux appearance of being prong set but was permanently 'capped', which hints at the possibility of containing something of the deceased. From a side view you can see that it is capped. This one-of-a-kind brooch is a beautiful, historical and meaningful addition to any collection of antique jewelry.
