Victorian Brass & Garnet Brooch

The Victorian Brass & Garnet Brooch is a classic, Victorian-era brooch of mold-pressed brass with four delicate red-purple garnets. Pins of this calibre represented a symbol of wealth, style, and status for Victorian women. They pinned typically at the neck over a scar or kerchief. The piece is not hallmarked, which is not unusual for pieces this era. The pin measures a very large 2.25 inches across. A truly unique treasure and an excellent example of Victorian fashion.

Victorian Jewelry

The prolonged peace of the Victorian Era—mirroring the 63-year reign of Queen Victoria from 1837 to 1901—shifted the nation’s focus from war and expansion to style and comfort. Jewelry from the period has an easy to recognize elegance, one of elaborate metal work, floral motifs, and colored gems. The rise of the Victorian “New Woman” soon led to jewelry as a fashionable, functional part of daily life.
