Antique Style Jet Cameo Brooch Gold Plated – Repaired – Possibly Victorian Era

SKU: E17944



Details about this unique Cameo Brooch :

A graceful nod to antique charm, this gold-plated Jet Cameo brooch exudes vintage sophistication. Possibly dating to the Victorian era, when jet was highly fashionable, it features a finely detailed profile set in lustrous jet, encased in a gold-plated frame. Measuring approximately 53mm by 47mm and weighing 16.33 grams, the brooch showcases timeless craftsmanship and classic design. It has undergone a past repair and, while still wearable, the pin can be difficult to secure—care is advised when fastening. An ideal addition for collectors or those who appreciate the unique character of well-loved heirlooms.

Jet is lightweight, natural, and can be highly polished, giving it a rich, glossy black appearance.

Jet cameos became especially popular during the Victorian era, particularly for mourning jewellery, due to their sombre colour and elegant finish.

The imagery is often carved directly into the jet, though sometimes other materials (like ivory or shell) were applied as contrast layers.

Why it's collectible:

Authentic jet cameos from the 19th century are increasingly rare and valued for their craftsmanship and historical significance.Their association with Victorian mourning culture gives them a unique niche in antique and vintage jewellery collections.

I had been looking for XVN rings as I love the style. This jasper ring is perfect. It arrived promptly and was packaged in its own ring box. I also purchased 3 other XVN rings and was pleasantly surprised that a postal refund was given as they came together in the same parcel.
