Victorian Pinwheel Brooch

The Victorian Pinwheel Brooch is a one-of-a-kind sterling silver pin featuring an intricate, sun-shaped pinwheel design. The piece is not hallmarked, but tests 925 silver, likely from the late Victorian era. The pin measures just over 1.25 inches across. A truly unique treasure and an excellent example of Victorian design.

Sterling Silver

When many people hear the term “sterling silver,” that consider that to be pure silver. In fact, sterling silver (also known as “925 silver”) contains only 92.5% silver. The balance is another metal, typically copper. For jewelry and practical items, smiths prefer sterling over pure silver due to issues of durability. Pure silver flexes easily, making items prone to warping, scratches, and dents. The addition of copper strengthens the metal, making it more suitable for daily wear. .
