A Beautiful Victorian Memorial Brooch Pin. The Base metal is 14K Yellow Gold with extensive Rope Filagree set in Zig Zags and Twists around the entire front. Bezel set Cabochon Lapis Lazuli and alternating Beads are set around the inner perimeter. The center is a Round Cabochon Cut Garnet. This Bezel Mounted Garnet was common for the Victorian Time Period. This Garnet is special! It has a watery look and perfect choice in this Brooch. The Setting, along with the setting angles and mix of colors gives it a warm and special feel. It's like making eye contact at a special moment! At the bottom are Foxtail Tassels with bullet ends. The rear is a lens and where your moments goes. Hair, picture, ashes or whatever you feel will go there! Beautiful in every way!
