Description
This is a gorgeous brooch created in England in the 1880s with a large, uniquely shaped translucent orange banded agate set in silver. The etched silver adds more detail to this stunning late Victorian pin.
Victorian agate jewelry, prominent during the 19th-century Victorian era, featured agate stones meticulously carved into intricate cameos and cabochons. These pieces often showcased the stone’s natural bands and earthy tones, creating unique and elegant adornments that reflected the era’s fascination with sentimentality and craftsmanship.
The brooch is in good antique condition with some noticeable signs of wear. The silver has a moderate patina layer that can be polished upon request. The back is marked MADE IN ENGLAND SILVER.
The brooch measures 2″ tall and wide and weighs 19.90 grams. The box is for display only.
I try to accurately depict the item in my photographs and the written description. Please note the measurements in the description, as images can often make the item appear more substantial than the actual size.
I combine shipping on multiple orders!
