A charming and romantic 9ct rose and yellow gold antique English sweetheart brooch that would work equally well as a cravat or stock pin.
The brooch features a lovely double scalloped border with a raised panel in two tone gold engraved with a heart and forget-me-not flowers with gold bead work. It dates to around 1900 and is a wonderful example of Victorian sentimental jewelry. Ideal as a little treat or a thoughtful love token gift it would also be perfect for the wedding groom to wear on his cravat or suit lapel!
The brooch is in wonderful condition and looks to have been rarely if ever used, a little age related tarnish on the back as you would expect but it could have been made yesterday!
It is a dainty size measuring 1-3/4" by 5/8" (45x15mm) and weighs 4.2 grams. It is stamped 'Gold Front" on the back, which typically means there is a solid sheet of 9ct gold bonded to front, which will accept the heavy engraving, with the rest of the brooch a gold plated base metal for strength and durability. The pin back is in perfect working order, strong and sturdy and it fastens very securely.
