Very pretty little 19th century gold mourning brooch - genuine natural pearls surround a glass-fronted locket panel, in which there is a lock of blond hair. Brooch measures 23 mm by 29 mm (just under 1 inch by 1.1/8 inches). The brooch has a few faults - the panel at the rear is missing its cover - this was probably also glass, but could have been gold. There is a rear safety chain, which is missing it’s end pin. This can easily be replaced by a whole new safety chain if desired - it is not original to the brooch. A few machine-made marks on the rear metal. So - a restoration project for someone to fit a rear panel. Such a pretty brooch deserves the repair.
