Antique Georgian Flat cut Garnet Mourning brooch, pearl, 9ct gold

The Georgians were very sentimental and it shows in the jewellery from the era, not least in their beautiful Mourning pieces.

This sweet antique Mourning brooch is a typical design of the Georgian era that remained popular throughout the 19th century.

It is a rectangular shape with a halo of flat cut Garnets around the outer rim, the Garnets encompassing a second halo of creamy l,tiny seed pearls which border a glazed panel with a lock of woven dark blonde hairwork beneath.

It is crafted in 9ct rose gold and has an old c type clasp and pin fastener.

Often used in the period as a lace pin, used to secure the lengths of lace or fichu at the neck of both men and women, today it could be worn in many ways, on a collar or lapel, swagged on a chain or in a hat!

A very beautiful antique Mourning piece.
