Description: 1860s ANTIQUE VICTORIAN 14k SOLID GOLD FLORAL LARGE BROOCH wLOCKET & TIN TYPE PICTURE of a yang handsome man in civil era clothing. Size of the brooch::1.70” x1.35”(This is good indicates that this brooch was made in America) Total weight of the brooch with picture insert:12.27 grams I am a silver smith that collects Victorian jewelry This brooch is a marriage of civil war era locket dedicated to my dear sister of a young handsome man The thin photo was in the locket for many years that why the image is still visible,little padding under the photo looks original too. The brooch itself is a little later 1880s brooch that was solder together still with lead soldier ,the craftsmanship is good and very solid like you see in the back of the brooch. I tested every part of the brooch,its all 14K solid gold The only thing that was changed in time is a brooch locking mechanism (that little pice is it’s not solid gold But gold field) Any way this is 10 plus grams of solid 14K gold of Mid Victorian era jewelry. Inside of the locket under the picture ,locket is layered with little silver that is correct to the period. The hinge is a tube hinge and the needle sticks out outside of the brooch do to the heavier garment in Victorian time Again only the locking part is a replacement with gold Filled fastening Please don’t try to low ball me ,serious inquiries only Item is antique and wont be sold by weightBrooch survived in excellent condition for its age Looks like it was locked away in the safe good part of it’s life. Not often I come across Fine Victorian jewelry in very good to excellent condition.
