Victorian Locket Brooch Enamel Half Pearl Gold Filled Hair Mourning Locket

A beauty of a Victorian mourning brooch, glazed back for hair more often than a photograph. The hook at the bottom can hold an extra trinket or bauble of the era, and the little loop at the top is for adding a safety chain pin. (Those are usually not still on these old pieces) The brooch is in very good but not perfect condition: the middle frame of the front has a small creased area and a separation as shown in the photos. That is the only condition issue though. Not too bad considering this is approaching 150 years. 1 &3/4” by 1 &1/2” 10.6 grams The enamel star is cobalt blue, in perfect condition, surrounding the half or “split” pearl. From my collection to yours!
