Offered here is a Georgian Mourning Brooch dated 1791, that has been tested as 14K gold. Mourning jewelry represents a connection to a deceased loved one. Often seen as a tribute to the subject, with an inscription, their initials, an eternal knot, lock of hair, cameo or silhouette of the subject. These were most popular in the Victorian era (1837-1901). This gorgeous antique piece features beautiful artwork depicting grieving the loss of a loved one. Written on the inscription is "Not lost but gone before." On the back is engraved the name Margaret Marian Parker, Born 10th July 1790, died 8th August 1791. The exquisite detail work around the edges on the front and back finish this piece off nicely.  Additional findings on this piece would allow it to be worn as a pendant as well. This brooch comes in a velvet like pouch for protection. This would be a stunning addition to a collection or a wonderful display piece!
