Antique Mourning Brooch & Matching Earrings

This Antique Victorian jewellery set is a classic example of a demi-parure, likely dating from the late 19th century. The set features a large oval brooch and matching circular dangle earrings, both crafted in white metal - unmarked, probably silver - with intricate Aesthetic Movement hand-engraving. A notable design element is the application of multi-toned gold—often rose and yellow gold—to create contrasting floral or celestial patterns, a popular technique during the Victorian era for sweetheart and mourning jewellery. The pieces are finished with a delicate scalloped edge and beadwork, reflecting the detailed craftsmanship of the period.
