Victorian Crepe Stone Mourning Brooch
Here is a beautiful Victorian mourning brooch. This fantastic piece features a great antique material called "crepe stone." This is made from molded glass that was intended to mimic the look of the highly sought-after carved Jet. Black jewelry was common during the Victorian period and into the Edwardian period for both mourning and non-mourning jewelry. Brooches like this were often worn at the neck. This moody Victorian brooch is in fantastic condition and is ready to wear or collect.

* Overall very nice, with some visible age-related wear on the reverse of the gold fill. There is a loop where the original safety chain would have been. A few minuscule age-related hairlines in the glass. A great Victorian mourning brooch!
