Antique Victorian Mourning T. Shell With Gold Fill Tremble Brooch Handmade 1850s

This antique Victorian mourning brooch was handmade in the 1850s. The type of shell used to make the brooch is not identified due to listing requirements, but starts with a T. The brooch has a hand carved geometric design with overlapping angular shapes and features a dangling circle with an accent strip of gold filled metal. This brooch was a special, well loved piece, as, somewhere back in time, the pin was lost or damaged, and was replaced with a handmade one. It was a cherished memento, worth saving. This antique Victorian mourning T. shell brooch is a unique piece of history, and an exceptional piece for antique or mourning jewelry collectors.
