Antique Victorian brooch, crafted from vulcanite, a traditional material used in mourning jewelry during the 19th century. It depicts a woman's hand with slender fingers holding a closed flower with leaves, possibly a rosebud, a symbol of remembrance, farewell, or fidelity.

The wrist is adorned with an elaborate ruffled cuff, molded pearls, and embossed ball chains that hang from the bracelet, adding dynamism to the piece.

The design, rich in detail and symbolism, reflects the sentimental and handcrafted style of Victorian mourning jewelry. The original long brooch is preserved on the back.

An ideal collector's item for lovers of symbolic, antique and Victorian jewelry.

Things you should know

What you are buying (important)

We sell antique and vintage items, not new or freshly manufactured products. Due to their age and previous use, they may show signs of wear, marks, scratches, small losses, or variations typical of the passage of time. These characteristics are common in pieces with history and are part of their condition.

We recommend that you review the photographs carefully, as they show the actual condition of the piece. If you need to confirm any details before purchasing, please write to us.

Photos and color

The photographs are taken with artificial light, so the color may vary slightly depending on your screen and lighting. If color is a deciding factor for you, we can send you additional photographs taken in natural light to get as close as possible to the true tone.

Patina and cleaning

Many pieces have a patina as a natural consequence of the passage of time. We do not remove it, as it may have taken decades to form and, in many cases, contributes to the character and appearance of the piece.

If you decide to clean or polish a piece, do so with caution and keeping the material in mind. Improper cleaning can alter its surface, patina, appearance, and in some cases, its value. If you need guidance on cleaning a specific material, contact us and we will help you.
