Antique 12k Gold and Seed Pearl, Garnet Gem Locket Brooch, Mourning Pin Brunette Hair Art French Fashion Time to sell a lotFrom my own collections of decades: Antique 12k Gold and flat face cut garnets hair art mourning brooch, c 1780s to 1820, Georgian Era. Total weight: 3 grams. Locket front framed in by a border of impossibly tiny seed pearls, which represented the tears of the mourner in that era. Plaiting of brunette hair inside and no engraving on back. I sometimes use these grouped on a jacket lapel, or clasped over a strand of pearls so many compliments! Very good
