9ct Yellow Gold Ruby and Pearl Antique Mourning Style Brooch

This exquisite antique brooch is a beautiful example of Victorian-era sentimentality and craftsmanship. Crafted from warm 9ct yellow gold, this piece is a testament to the elegant and meaningful jewellery of a bygone era.

The brooch's central motif features a deep red ruby, symbolizing love and passion, surrounded by a delicate halo of brilliant-cut diamond chips. This stunning centrepiece is encircled by a border of tiny, lustrous pearls, a classic mourning symbol representing tears. The ornate setting sits atop a polished gold bar with beautiful decorative scrollwork on each end, reflecting the meticulous detail of antique artistry.

Worn close to the heart, this style of brooch was cherished for its deeply personal and symbolic nature. Its intricate design and rich history make it a truly unique and significant piece. It is perfect for the collector of antique jewellery or anyone who appreciates an item that tells a story. 

As with all vintage and antique jewellery, there are likely to be signs of wear conducive with age and use. It is an integral part of what makes them appealing, adding history, charm and individualism to each piece.
