Great late Victorian piece :icon_thumright:

What is the stone onyx or some jet?

GopherDaGold · Jul 24, 2010

It would be jet if it contains pyrite inclusions but difficult to tell from the pic.

A really neat find. Could I ask for a photo of the back also? I'd love to see the whole thing.

I will when I get it back, it is at my mothers house now, she collects costume jewelry and I left it with her to check out

Goes4ever, it is always important to show the backside of a piece. I deal in antique jewelry, and the back construction would tell me the age of this piece.
From what I see, I am going to guess at this being early 1900's. A sash pin is what it was called. Looks to be a gilt over brass. Please show the back.

it has or had 2 things on the back that held the pin on that is missing, one side broke off when I was cleaning it up, must have been cracked already because the rest of the piece is very sturdy
