A dainty and elegant Victorian brooch/pendant crafted in 18ct gold, dating to circa 1880. This beautifully made piece features a rhomboid-shaped design bordered by a halo of well-matched original split pearls, all securely set.

Likely intended as a mourning brooch, it also includes a discreet loop to the reverse, allowing it to be worn as a small pendant if desired.
