Antique Victorian Era 12k Gold and Enameled Mourning Pin, Brooch with Dark Blond Hair Art Brienz bear a silversmith's registered signature markFrom my own collections of decades: Antique 12k Gold and seed pearl hair art mourning brooch, c 1780s to 1820, Georgian Era. Total weight: 5. 18 grams. Double row of kiln fired enamel highlights the plaited hair memento within. Plaiting of dark blond hair, and engraving on back but impossible to read. I sometimes use these grouped on a jacket lapel, or clasped over a strand of pearls so many compliments! Very good to excellent condition for age and
